The Andhra Pradesh Government has decided to create a Special Security Group (SSG) for providing “proximate security” to the Chief Minister and his immediate family members.
Accordingly, the AP Special Security Group (SSG) Bill, 2023, was passed in the Legislative Assembly on September 22 (Friday). The Bill was introduced by Home Minister T. Vanitha for carving the SSG out of the Intelligence Department.
The Statement of Objects and Reasons (SoOR) attached with the Bill said the SSG would be entrusted with the crucial responsibility of providing “proximate security to the CM and his family members,” and it required highly specialised skills and utmost sensitivity in execution.
