The Centre has provided a Z-category armed protection cover to Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama in view of potential security threats to him, official sources said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The Union home ministry has directed the VIP security wing of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) to take charge of the 89-year-old leader.<\/p>\n
The sources said the Dalai Lama would be secured by a Z-category protection cover of CRPF commandos in all parts of the country.<\/p>\n
He had a small protection cover of the Himachal Pradesh Police and was extended security when he travelled to Delhi or any other place by the local police.<\/p>\n
The government has now granted him a uniform security cover after a review by central intelligence agencies, a senior officer said.<\/p>\n
A team of about 30 CRPF commandos will work in shifts to secure the Dalai Lama, he said.<\/p>\n
In a similar move, the home ministry has provided a Z-category cover to BJP leader Sambit Patra in Manipur, the sources said.<\/p>\n
The 50-year-old Puri MP is in charge of the party’s affairs in the state, which has been witnessing ethnic violence for almost two years.<\/p>\n
