HI Ruqiya
In India, security details are provided to some high-risk individuals by the police and local government. Depending on the threat perception to the person, the category is divided into four tiers: Z+ (highest level), Z, Y and X. Individuals under the security blanket include the President, Vice-President, Prime-Minister, Supreme Court & High Court Judges, Service Chiefs of Indian Armed Forces, Governors of State, Chief Ministers and Cabinet Ministers.
SPG category – Strength of security detail is Classified
Z+ category has a security cover of 36 personnel [including 10+ NSG Commando] + [Police personnel]
Z category has a security cover of 22 personnel [including 4 or 5 NSG commando] + [Police personnel]
Y category has a security cover of 11 personnel [ including 1 or 2 commando] + [Police personnel]
