The office-bearers of a workers’ union are physically preventing a section of the workers from entering the premises of the industrial establishment where they work to show solidarity with the union which had given a call for a strike. The argument is becoming increasingly heated with some of the office-bearers threatening to resort to violence. As an officer of the Central Industrial Security Force in-charge of the situation, which one of the following actions would you consider the best under the circumstances ?

Call the Chief Security Officer to handle the situation

Fire in the air to disperse the crowd

Escort the workers who want to enter the premises to their workstations inside the premises

Arrest the office-bearers of the workers' union

In a situation where some workers are being prevented from entering premises and violence is threatened, the best immediate action for a CISF officer is to facilitate the entry of those who wish to work. Escorting them demonstrates authority, protects the willing workers’ right to access their workplace, and asserts control over the situation without immediate use of force.

Ensuring lawful access to the workplace while maintaining order is a priority for security forces during labor disputes.

Calling the CSO (A) is administrative; firing in the air (B) is a dangerous last resort; arresting office-bearers (D) without clear criminal acts may escalate the situation. Escorting is a proactive, de-escalatory measure to enable legitimate activity.

The responsibility of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) extends beyond protecting just the physical assets of an industrial establishment. Their mandate includes ensuring the overall security and safety of the premises, which inherently involves the protection of the employees working within those establishments.

CISF’s protective scope covers both assets and personnel within guarded establishments.

CISF’s role has diversified significantly and includes responsibilities for airports, metro systems, government buildings, museums, etc., demonstrating that their duties are not limited solely to industrial establishments or physical infrastructure protection. They can also be assigned duties outside India in specific contexts (e.g., embassy security, although this is not their primary role).

An Intelligent Camera integrates image capture hardware with processing capabilities to analyze images and extract specific, application-relevant information, going beyond mere photography.

Intelligent cameras combine imaging with built-in processing and analysis.

While intelligent cameras can be used for applications like security surveillance (options B, C, D describe potential uses), their principal function lies in their ability to process visual data to identify patterns, objects, or anomalies pertinent to a specific task.

The correct answer is B) Telnet.

Telnet is an internet protocol and utility that provides a command-line interface for communicating with a remote server. It allows a user to log in to a remote computer system and execute commands as if they were directly connected to it.

While Telnet provides remote login capability, it transmits data in plain text, making it insecure for sensitive information like passwords. For secure remote login, protocols like SSH (Secure Shell) are now widely preferred and used as a modern alternative to Telnet. FTP is used specifically for file transfer, and Usenet is a system for distributed discussion groups.

The correct answer is B) Printer.

In the given list, Scanner, Mouse, and Keyboard are all input devices used to provide data or commands to a computer. A Printer, on the other hand, is an output device that produces hard copies of data processed by the computer.

Input devices translate information from the outside world into a form that the computer can understand. Output devices translate information from the computer into a form that humans can understand or use (like printing on paper, displaying on a screen, or sound). The printer is the only output device in the list, making it the odd one out.
