The Chhattisgarh State Industrial Security Force Act, 2025
The Chhattisgarh State Industrial Security Force Act, 2025 establishes a specialized armed security force to protect industrial establishments, public infrastructure, heritage sites, and commercial facilities across Chhattisgarh. It equips force members with police powers, including the authority to arrest and search suspects without a warrant to prevent criminal acts and property damage at designated deployment sites. The law applies to force personnel, public sector undertakings, and private enterprises seeking security services or technical consultancy. This legislation matters because it provides dedicated protection for vital economic assets and infrastructure, fostering industrial growth while relieving regular police forces to concentrate on general law and order.
