During a strike, agitation, or gherao, CISF’s role is primarily focused on maintaining law and order, protecting property and personnel, and ensuring the safety of those within the facility. Escorting officials under gherao to safety is a protective role that CISF performs (Option A). CISF personnel are required to cooperate and assist the local police in handling the situation (Option B). Maintaining friendly relations with employees, even during industrial unrest, is part of fostering a better working environment and can aid in de-escalation (Option D). However, forcing employees to join work is not a role of CISF; this pertains to management authority, labor laws, or orders enforced by civil administration or police, not the security force’s mandate.

CISF’s role during industrial unrest is limited to security, protection of assets and personnel, maintenance of order, and liaison with police, not involvement in labor disputes or forcing employees to work.

CISF deployment in industrial settings often involves balancing security needs with employee relations. Their actions during strikes are governed by legal provisions and administrative guidelines, aiming to prevent violence, damage, and disruption while respecting the rights of both management and employees.
