Chhattisgarh Cabinet Approves Security Units, Cloud-First Policy and FTO Guidelines

The decisions shift budgeted plans to rollout to speed implementation across security, digital services, connectivity, plus urban administration.

Overview

  • Forty-four posts were sanctioned to create a Special Operations Group under the police Special Branch for rapid response to high-risk incidents.
  • One hundred posts were approved to set up district anti-narcotics task forces in Raipur, Mahasamund, Bilaspur, Durg, Bastar, Surguja, Kabirdham, Jashpur, Rajnandgaon and Korba.
  • The Cloud First policy requires departments to use MeitY-approved providers or secure India-based data and disaster-recovery centres, with low-priority migrations by 2027–28 and high-priority by 2029–30.
  • A Mobile Tower Scheme will expedite permissions for installations in remote and Left-Wing-Extremism-affected areas to expand coverage and improve service delivery.
  • Guidelines enable privately run Flight Training Organisations, while 35 completed housing colonies shift to urban local bodies and district collectors gain authority to allot government land in the Sirpur and Arpa areas.
