By Sumit Kumar Singh New Delhi, Nov 7 : India has made a database of private aircraft that can be used for movement of its elite force National Security Guard (NSG) during urgent counter-terror operations in any part of the country.
The decision is seen by the security forces as cutting of red tape at the time of anti-terror operations.
The government has directed the security forces that “data base of all the private aircraft suitable for efficient and quick movements be collated and used for movement by NSG when required in emergency situations”.
The source said that this move will help the NSG to move immediately for counter-terror operations across the country.
The NSG role is to swiftly and speedily carry out strike and immediately withdraw from the theatre of action.
It has a specific role of handling all facets of terrorism in any party of the country as a federal contingency force, said the source.
