Thank you, also what about training and Special Service units. Is India working on or has such units it wide use? I would be very interested to know if India participated in the US Dept of State ATAP to improve its Anti Terror capabilities?
Also training wise, is training regional or at a national level. For example in Pakistan each province has a dedicated training academy and the special training academy is in Lahore for Elite Police and COBRA and ATA ( Counter Terrorist and Crisis Response Courses) are conducted at PTC Sihalla near Rawalpdini.
Many thanks.
Every state has special armed units to what we call commando units varying number and capabilities .
Police forces of Punjab,N/E, Kashmir and states which fights Naxals like Andhra pradesh,Chattisgarh,Odisha etc have bigger dedicated special service units.They are ofcourse well armed .Maharastr police created its own anti terrorist commando unit after 26/11.
In general for all anti terrorism , anti hijack ops we have dedicated NSG(national security guards) which is a quasi military unit under HM whose personnels are drawn from both army and paramilitaries is comparable to the best in the world.Its deployed 5 metro cities around the country now .Before 26/11 ,they had only one base in New Delhi and their operation in Mumbai got delayed due to the travle time.NSG also looks after the security of central ministers and Chief ministers of the state.
Other Para military units like BSF , ITBP etc too have their specialized commando units.
SPG (speical protection group) is anther specialized unit solely created for security of the prime minster and ex prime ministers of india after killing of Indira Gandhi .
