What is the National Security Guard?
The National Security Guard (NSG) is a special and highly-trained security force of India, which has been established especially for anti-terrorism operations and the protection of important persons. NSG was established in the year 1984. It was formed to deal with the growing terrorist threats in the country after the assassination of the then prime minister Indira Gandhi.
The NSG is specially trained to intervene in terrorist attacks and crisis situations. This includes operations against terrorists and handling high-security targets. Apart from this, NSG commandos also handle the task of protecting important government persons, such as the prime minister and other high-level officials. The NSG is trained for special operations in difficult conditions, such as hijacks, hostage situations and other emergency situations.
