HARYANA, Oct 14: The government will set up another regional hub of the 'Black Cat' commando force NSG in Uttar Pradesh's temple town Ayodhya, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Tuesday.
This will be the sixth regional hub of the National Security Guard (NSG) after the existing hubs of Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Gandhinagar. The force also has a small unit called 'task force' in Jammu.
NSG hubs in different parts of the country enable its commandos to reach any emergency immediately and effectively.
Addressing the 41st Raising Day of the anti-terror commando force at its headquarters here, Shah said the Modi government is set to bring about a major change in the functioning of the NSG in the coming days.
"So far, five hubs of the NSG have been established in Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad (Gandhinagar). In addition, a new hub is also going to be set up in Ayodhya. Here, the NSG personnel will be deployed and available round the clock," he said.
