Research &Development the police-public ratio (per lakh of population) in the country as on 01.01.2016 is 180.59. State-wise data is at Annexure-I.

## L.S.US.Q.NO.6208 FOR 11.04.2017

(b):  Security is provided on the basis of threat assessment done by Central Security Agency. It is subject to periodic review. Based on such review, the security  cover  is  continued,  withdrawn  or  modified.  Hence  the  number  of protectees is not static and varies over time. As on date, the number of threat based protectees in the Central list in the various categories is as follows:

| Category   |   Number |
|------------|----------|
| Z+         |       26 |
| Z          |       58 |
| Y+         |      144 |
| Y          |        2 |
| X          |       68 |
| Total      |      298 |

(c) & (d): Yes  Madam.Presently  14    'Z+'  category  protectees  have  been provided  with  NSG  mobile  security  cover.NSG  has  deployed  551  security personnel for the protection of these protectees.

(e): As  regards  expenditure  on  security,  it  is  difficult  to  determine  it precisely as it includes salary and allowances  to security personnel, communication,  transport  vehicles,  etc.  which  are  accounted  for  under respective  budget  heads  of  different  security  agencies,  including  State Government agencies, providing security cover. Such details are not compiled centrally.

(f): There  are  special  instructions  for  security  of  the  President,  the  Vice President  and  the  Prime  Minister,  which  are  contained  in  their  respective Blue Books issued by M/o Home Affairs.

Security arrangements for other individuals are made as per the guidelines laid down  in  the 'Yellow Book' titled 'Security arrangements  for the protection of individuals'. The security arrangements for such individuals are made  after  careful  assessment  of  their  threat  perception  by  the  Central Security  Agency.  Depending  on  the  level  of  threat,  security  is  provided  in Z+,Z,Y+,Y and X categories.

Certain  categories  of  individuals,  such  as  Union  Ministers,  State  CMs and Judges of Supreme Court and High Courts, are provided positional/statutory  security  cover  to  facilitate  bold  and  impartial  decision making. Their security is withdrawn after they demit their office.

(g): No Madam.
