Security Operations — Prelims Strategy

Prelims Strategy

Focus on memorizing specific constitutional articles (355, 356), legal acts (AFSPA 1958, UAPA 1967, NIA Act 2008), and their key provisions. Create a comprehensive list of all CAPFs with their specific roles and headquarters.

Prepare a timeline of major operations with their objectives, areas, and outcomes. Pay special attention to Supreme Court judgments, particularly Nandini Sundar (2011) and Extra Judicial Execution (2012) cases.

Practice questions on coordination mechanisms like MAC, JIC, and Unified Headquarters. Use elimination techniques by understanding the specific mandates of different forces and agencies. Current affairs integration is crucial - maintain updated information on recent operations and policy changes.
