Re: 'Reclaim your life' Safari is now bulletproof The Gandhi family is mostly protected by Z-class security, and are thus entitles them to a certain number of bullet proof Safaris and Ambassadors, as provided by the SPG. Other than the Gandhi family, any other person of similar SPG security status would get it. This level of security is not even provided to all Chief Ministers, only a few get it based on threat level.
But the President and PM officially get a level of security higher than that, which includes those BMWs, not to mention a lot of other stuff. But like I said, these rarely get used outside of Delhi, as the PM/President is generally flown to wherever he needs to be.
On international trips, some of the motorcade is pre-transported if the host nation doesnt not have the capability to provide the level of security needed.
Other than public image, as has been sighted before, every vehicle has a certain security level(not just speed), and the Tata Safari doesnt meet those that are required by the PM and President, who's security level is one level above the Z-class security.
I never said the Safari's weren't fast enough, just that they would be slower than the BMWs. |
