“Social media monitoring of CISF personnel is done…to evaluate psychological state”: MoCA to Kangana Ranaut

New Delhi [India], August 1 (ANI): Minister of State in the Ministry of Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol on Thursday informed Lok Sabha that social media monitoring of CISF personnel is done at every level to evaluate their psychological state.

“Social media monitoring of CISF personnel is done at unit/zone/sector level to know about involvement/influence of some negative elements. The mentor and buddy pair system has also been implemented at every unit/airport to evaluate the psychological state of CISF personnel,” Murlidhar Mohol said.

In a reply to a question asked by Mandi MP Kangana Ranaut whether the Government has any monitoring system for scrutiny of CISF personnel at airports to know about their involvement or influence by some negative elements or activities which result in bad behaviour with passengers, the Minister of State in the Ministry of civil aviation Murlidhar Mohol informed that CISF has developed a Personal Information System, a web-based project, where the personal and professional profile of deployed personnel are updated by Supervisory Officers.

He further informed that the Personal Profile Sheet and dossier of all CISF personnel are maintained at the unit level and the same is transferred to the next place of posting. The specific remarks/comments in the personal profile sheet of an individual are taken into account while deploying them at the public interface.

Regular behaviour detection/soft skill training is imparted to CISF personnel. Motivational and awareness sessions are organized at the unit level regularly to enhance the moral and motivation of CISF personnel to perform their duties diligently and professionally, he added.

On June 6, CISF constable Kulwinder Kaur allegedly slapped actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut at the Chandigarh airport. Kaur was later transferred to a unit in Bengaluru pending a disciplinary inquiry.
