The Bihar government has approved Z Category Security for Bihar Deputy CMs Vijay Kumar Chaudhary and Bijendra Prasad Yadav. The decision came soon after the new government took charge in Bihar. Officials said both leaders will now receive high-level protection along with trained commandos.
Under the new arrangement, Z Category Security for Bihar Deputy CMs will include around 22 security personnel. The team will consist of police officers and commandos from central forces such as Central Reserve Police Force and Indo-Tibetan Border Police. The security cover will also include escort vehicles, residential protection, and security while traveling.
Both leaders are senior members of Janata Dal (United) and currently serve as deputy chief ministers in the government led by Samrat Choudhary. Earlier, some deputy CMs had received Z Plus security, which is a higher level of protection.
The current government formed after Nitish Kumar stepped down from the chief minister’s post. For now, the chief minister and the two deputy CMs are managing the administration until the cabinet expands next month.
