UP will see seven additional airports under UPSSF’s management

A specialized devoted force modeled after the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), the Uttar Pradesh Special Security Force (UPSSF) will guard seven recently built airports at Ayodhya, Chitrakoot, Sonbhadra, Shravasti, Aligarh, Moradabad, and Azamgarh.

Sanjay Prasad, the principal secretary of the home department, has issued an order pertaining to the UPSSF’s deployment at these airports.

Prior to the force’s deployment, the directive directs the UP director general of police to specify the functions of the UPSSF and local police as well as their respective security obligations.

The UPSSF deployed its thirty employees to Lok Bhawan in Lucknow on September 1, 2022, marking the start of the organization’s operations.
