Lok Sabha
To regulate the functioning of the private security agencies, the Central Government proposes to introduce a new Bill, namely the Private Security agencies (Regulation) Bill, 2005 in the current session of the Parliament. In the Bill there will be provision to make it mandatory to obtain a licence from the appropriate authority of the State Governments/Union Territory administration to run such agency. Only after such a system is put in place, the actual number of private security agencies will be known to the appropriate authority in the States/Union Territories. The above Bill proposes the necessary legal framework to over-see the functioning of the Private Security Agencies.
The information was given by the Minister of State for Home, Shri Sripakash Jaiswal in a written reply in the Lok Sabha today.
