RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat's security upgraded to ASL level, in line with PM Modi and Home Minister Shah.

RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat's security has been upgraded to the Advanced Security Liaison (ASL) level, bringing it in line with Home Minister Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The decision comes after a review of Bhagwat's security needs and a threat analysis report submitted by the Intelligence Bureau. The ASL protocol involves collaboration between local agencies, including district administrations, police, health departments, and more. It also requires helicopter travel to be restricted to specially designed aircraft and mandates multi-layered security rings and anti-sabotage checks for comprehensive protection. This change was made in response to fresh threat analysis reports revealing vulnerabilities, especially in states led by non-BJP parties, and intelligence inputs that indicate an increased risk for Bhagwat.
