In order to pave the way for development and contribute to employees' welfare, the government is all set to frame new rules to regulate private security agencies. In this regard, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has invited comments and suggestions from individuals and organizations on the draft Private Security Agencies Central (Amendment) Model Rules, 2019.
The government envisages to improve the level of the enforcement of the act and the rules. Therefore, it has been decided to consider modification in the model rules made under section 24 of the act to bring in substantial improvement in its enforcement.
As per the ministry, since the private security agency licensing portal has been launched, there will be no need for manual police verification of details of directors, partners or proprietors of companies at the time of applying for license. The verification of antecedents will be facilitated through electronic databases of crime and criminal like the Crime and Criminal Tracking Networks and Systems (CCTNS) and the Interoperable Criminal Justice System (ICJS).
