Inclusion of Security
Services under Essential Services Maintenance Act is being heralded as positive
development and will boost the sagging finances and the morale of Private

Protection Kits and sanitizers and extra premium on health insurance. ESMA thus
brings additional risks to the security personnel without actually giving them
any extra precautions or protections.
