Bihar's Security Boost: Deputy CMs Receive Z Category Protection

The Bihar government has upgraded security for Deputy Chief Ministers Vijay Kumar Choudhary and Bijendra Prasad Yadav to Z category, following a review by the state's home department. The enhanced security includes a team armed with advanced weapons. Former CM Nitish Kumar also received a Z-plus security cover recently.

Security measures for Bihar's Deputy Chief Ministers, Vijay Kumar Choudhary and Bijendra Prasad Yadav, have been intensified by the state government. Both leaders are now shielded by Z category security, as announced by the state's home department.

The upgrade follows a comprehensive assessment of their current security systems, an official remarked. The Z category designation ensures they are under the protection of a skilled team, equipped with cutting-edge weaponry.

Meanwhile, former Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, now a Rajya Sabha member, was awarded the highest level of Z-plus security. This move comes after the establishment of Bihar's first BJP-led government under the leadership of Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on April 15.
