West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankar has been accorded 'Z' category CRPF security cover on an all-India basis, the Centre said on Thursday.
"It has been decided to provide 'Z' category CRPF security cover to West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankar on an all-India basis," the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said.
Dhankar will be guarded by the CRPF personnel round-the-clock both inside and outside West Bengal.
There are four tiers of security cover accorded to VIPs in the country based on the level of threat perception -- X, Y, Z and Z+.
The 'Z' category entails security cover by the Delhi police or the ITBP or CRPF personnel and one escort car.
