An NDRF Battalion is not located in Himachal Pradesh.
As of current information, the 12 battalions of NDRF are strategically located in various states for quick response. The locations include Assam, West Bengal, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh (two battalions), Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, and Arunachal Pradesh. Himachal Pradesh is not one of the states hosting a primary NDRF battalion headquarters.
NDRF battalions are based on personnel drawn from other CAPFs and are deployed in locations based on vulnerability profiles and logistical considerations to cover different regions of the country effectively during disasters. While Himachal Pradesh is prone to disasters, it does not host an NDRF battalion itself, though battalions from neighbouring states would cover it.

The statement “The superintendence of CISF vests with DG, CISF” is not correct.
For Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) like CISF, the overall superintendence vests with the Central Government, specifically the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The Director General (DG) is the head of the force and is responsible for its command, administration, and day-to-day supervision, but under the superintendence of the Central Government.
The DG exercises powers of command and supervision over the Force, but these powers are exercised under the overall authority and superintendence of the Central Government. The term “superintendence” implies ultimate authority and oversight, which lies with the government that created and controls the force.

The Visitors car parking area does not fall under Airside as far as the security of the Airport is concerned.
Airside areas of an airport are the parts where aircraft operate or are serviced, including runways, taxiways, aprons (tarmac), and secure areas within the terminal building (beyond security checks). Access to these areas is strictly controlled. Landside areas are those accessible to the general public before security checks, such as access roads, public parts of the terminal building (check-in areas), and parking facilities. The visitors car parking area is located landside.
The Terminal building contains both landside (public) and airside (secure/sterile) areas. Tarmac (Apron) and Runway are unequivocally airside areas. The visitors car parking area is entirely landside.

A landslide caused due to civil construction work in a hilly area is a man-made disaster.
While landslides can occur naturally (triggered by rain, earthquakes, erosion), if the primary cause is human activity such as improper slope cutting for roads, buildings, or other construction, it is classified as a man-made or anthropogenic disaster because the human action directly triggered the event.
It is important to distinguish between natural hazards and disasters. A natural hazard is a natural phenomenon that poses a threat. A disaster occurs when a hazard impacts vulnerable populations or infrastructure, leading to loss. When human activity directly causes the event itself, it becomes a man-made disaster.

CISF is normally not primarily deployed for VIP security duty.
CISF’s primary mandate is securing industrial undertakings, critical infrastructure, airports, etc. While they are often deployed for election duties, contribute personnel to NDRF for disaster management, and secure their premises in potentially insurgency-affected areas, dedicated personal VIP security is mainly handled by forces like the SPG, NSG, CRPF, and state police.
CISF personnel may provide security to VIPs visiting the establishments they protect, but they are not typically tasked with providing personal security details for individuals as a routine deployment compared to their other supplementary duties like election or disaster support.

In India, the National Security Guard (NSG) is the force designated to deal with Anti-Hijacking operations.
The NSG is a specialized counter-terrorism and hostage rescue force, and counter-hijacking operations, particularly of aircraft and other modes of transport, are a key part of its mandate and training.
While other forces like CISF are involved in security at potential targets (like airports), the direct operational responsibility for handling active hijacking situations rests with the NSG’s specialized units. SPG provides personal security to VIPs, and BSF is primarily a border guarding force.

CISF is inducted in an undertaking after the approval of MHA and completion of pre-induction formalities and payment of security deposit.
The induction of CISF into a new establishment is a formal process that requires approval from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). Beyond MHA approval, practical steps like site surveys, assessment of security requirements, establishment of necessary infrastructure, completion of administrative formalities, and often, payment of a security deposit by the requesting entity are required before deployment.
Options A, B, and D relate to internal operational matters of CISF (DG orders, recruitment, training) rather than the specific external requirements for securing a new undertaking. The pre-induction formalities and financial arrangements are crucial steps following government approval for external deployment.
