7:44 AM Posted In January 2009 Edit This 0 Comments »After more than 60 hours of battle with the terrorists, the men armored with courage saved many lives of hostages, defended our nation and restored pride in our nation’s armed forces. The National Security Guards (NSG) were hailed as heroes of the country. People congratulated NSG men for their valiant service during the hours of crisis.
26/11 attack brought to light the lapses in the internal security of the country and the need for proactive measures to thwart terrorist activities. The attack necessitated to increase the swiftness in the response mechanism to terrorist threats and attacks. One of the measures is to initially set up NSG hubs in four cities; Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Chennai.
The National Security Guards has evolved to be one of the eminent counter terrorist units in Asia and was formed by the Cabinet Secretariat under the National Security Guard Act of the Parliament in 1986. Overseen by the Ministry of Home Affairs and headed by the Director General of Indian Police Service, NSG is confined to the Indian Armed Forces structure.
Headquartered at Mehramnagar, Palam, the NSG training centre and the National Data Centre which holds international conferences are based at Manesar in Haryana. Comprising of two groups in NSG; Special Action Group (SAG) that operates on anti–terrorists and anti–hijack situations with the support of Special Ranger Group (SRG), which provides high security to VVIPs of India.
NSG draws its members for SAG from the Indian Armed Forces and the members for SRG from other paramilitary forces like Border Security Force (BSF), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Rapid Action Force and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP).
It was in 1985, the NSG commandos began their first operations to combat the insurgency movement in Punjab. Their functions include handling hijack situations, bomb disposal, neutralization of terrorist threats, engaging and neutralizing terrorists in specific situations and rescuing hostages. The NSG commandos are primarily involved to counter terrorist activities and continue its operations in Jammu & Kashmir.
The aspirants to join NSG, go through an extensive, vigourous training, in order to be inducted into NSG. The recruits who complete the basic course for 90 days are taken for specialised training. There are more than 7000 NSG commandos.
In the wake of Mumbai terror attacks, the law on the National Investigative Agency Bill and Unlawful Activities Prevention Amendment Bill was passed. As a central agency, the National Investigative Agency (NIA) was set up, to investigate terror related cases that spanned across the country.
NSG defends the nation when faced with terrorization, strives to safeguard our territory from the terrorists outfits, with an endless grit and determination. Salute to our real life heroes!
