The Central Armed Forces provide security cover to VIPs (Very Important Persons) and special allowances are given to the personnel which has its own benefits but "few selected" get these benefits, which has led to a lot of heartburn among forces.
The CRPF provides security cover to almost 150 VIPs including Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the Gandhi family. The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) also provide security cover to the VIPs.
