"Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) security personnel at Parliament caught the intruder immediately - Parliament Security Sources"

New Delhi, August 22

A security breach at Parliament was foiled on Friday morning when alert security personnel nabbed an intruder who entered the complex by climbing a tree and scaling the wall, Parliament security sources said.

The sources said that the man jumped the wall between TKR 2 - North Utility of Parliament gate and got into the Parliament complex

Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) security personnel at Parliament caught the intruder immediately and questioning underway, Parliament Security Sources told ANI.

The sources said that the man reached the Garuda gate of the new Parliament building by jumping over the wall from the Rail Bhawan side.

On December 13, 2001 there was an attack on the old building of the Parliament by terrorists belonging to Pakistan based terrorist organizations Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). Fourteen people including fiver terrorists were killed in the attack.

In December 2023, coinciding with the 22nd anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attack, two individuals jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the visitors' gallery during Zero Hour and released yellow gas from canisters. They were heard shouting anti-government slogans. Simultaneously, outside the Parliament complex, two people were seen using similar canisters to release coloured smoke while chanting slogans. Six people were arrested in connection with the incident.

How did someone manage to climb a tree and jump over the wall? This shows serious gaps in perimeter security. Parliament is our nation's pride - security should be top class with modern technology.

Good job by our security forces! 👏 They acted swiftly and prevented what could have been a major incident. We should appreciate their alertness instead of only criticizing.

After the December incident and now this, it's clear we need better security protocols. Maybe time to trim trees near Parliament walls and install more sensors? Safety of our leaders is paramount.

The 2001 attack still gives me chills. We must never forget that day. Security agencies need to be extra vigilant always. Jai Hind!

While I appreciate the security response, this incident raises questions about preventive measures. Why are there trees close enough to the wall that someone can use them to climb over? Basic security audit needed.

Hope the investigation reveals the motive. Was this just a stunt or something more serious? Our security forces are doing their best but need better infrastructure support from government.
