Special Protection Group — Legal Reforms

Entry	Year	Description	Impact
SPG Amendment Act 2019	2019	The amendment restricted SPG security cover to only the serving Prime Minister and members of his immediate family residing with him at his official residence. Former Prime Ministers were removed from automatic SPG protection and transitioned to Z+ security provided by CRPF.	This amendment optimized resource allocation, focused SPG capabilities on current threats, and reflected evolving security doctrines. It demonstrated a shift from blanket protection to threat-based security allocation, enhancing operational efficiency while maintaining adequate protection for former Prime Ministers through alternative arrangements.
