J & K is now under the governor’s rule. Thus, the centre is planning to deploy National Security Guard commandos in Srinagar to step up action against terror outfits. Till now, NSG has been training CRPF for counter-terror operations. NSG will be training the state police and other paramilitary forces in special anti-terror skills. NSG DG Sudeep Lakhtakia will visit Srinagar soon to discuss the induction.
There was a point of view that NSG has remarkable potential and this should be utilized in other beneficial ways too. As per an official, “It’s a sizeable force well equipped for counter-terror actions. It has been utilized in only extraordinary situations. The situation is apt to put their superior training, skills and arms to use.”
Deployment of NSG during the 26/11 attacks or the Pathankot strike has been remarkable. They can be actively involved to tackle terrorism in J&K and can be a strong force multiplier.
