New Delhi: The Union government has removed the central security cover of Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister O Paneerselvam and DMK leader M K Stalin, officials said on Thursday.
They said that while Paneerselvam had a smaller 'Y+' cover of central paramilitary commandos, Stalin had a larger 'Z+' protection.
Reportedly, the security cover of these two politicians has been taken off from the central security list after a threat assessment review was made by central security agencies and approved by the Union home ministry.
Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) commandos were protecting these two leaders of Tamil Nadu.
However, they said that the central security cover will be formally taken off after the state police takes over their security task.
