Really quite silly- look at those crowds, it only takes one idiot. The Nepali security really failed to keep the crowds off the road but then Modi made the job of his security unnecessarily awkward there also.

I see modi in bmw...can tata or any other indian company develop car for PM?
What other Indian company? - Mahindra? He was using Scorpio before becoming PM. No Indian company make vehicles of such class and I don't think they would make one or few just for Mr. Prime Minister. Security of PM can not be compromised. He needs to get best.

New Delhi: The NSG crack commando strength has been almost doubled to 460 personnel each stationed at select hubs in Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad to undertake quick and swift counter-terror or counter-hijack operations.

The hubs in these cities, covering key areas, were set up in the aftermath of the November 2008 Mumbai terror attacks during which the elite force came under criticism for slow response time.

"It has been decided to reinforce the strength of each of the four regional hubs from 241 to 460 personnel with immediate effect," the Union Home Ministry said in its annual report for 2013-14 tabled in Parliament yesterday.

All the four hubs were made operational in 2009 by the Home Ministry after residential and training infrastructure was developed in these hubs for commandos and other administrative staff of the National Security Guard (NSG), a federal contingency force that was raised in 1984 to undertake special missions against terrorists and hijackers.

Specially trained commandos of the NSG counter-terror taskforce have been since stationed at these locations and they are armed with sophisticated weapons, communication gadgetry and other logistics to launch themselves in an combat scenario at a short notice.

Hyderabad and Chennai hubs have also been upgraded to the level of regional centres with 600 acres and 34.31 acres of land allotted to NSG in these cities respectively.

The force is also mulling to finalise a land for its fifth hub that could come up in Gujarat near Ahmedabad.

increasing the number will affect the quality of the force... looks like no one is interested in quality

sometimes security have to be compromised to reach out to individuals
Plus they carry sensors which can detect gun powder so i guess it is safe enough

Exactly...people are fcking up the meaning of a SF.

Anyways I am not much of a fan of the structure and recruitment of NSG.

I don't agree that increasing the number of operators will necessarily affect the quality of the training as long as the NSG also increases its capacity to train operators and allocates/receives more budget per operator- which it is succeeding on both accounts-With the regional centres in Hydrabad and Chennai being "mini-Mansears" in a sense, able to impart all relevant refresher training on operators once they have passed out of Mansear and are deployed regionally in the Hubs so there is no extra burden on the NSG's central/main training centre- additionally the SRG is actively being reduced so more budget is being freed up for the SAG operators.

The US SOFs have been expanded many times in the past 13 years and if anything they are better trained today than ever before.

Baloney, there is a way for the PM to interact with the people that is safe but this way is NOT it.

Plus they carry sensors which can detect gun powder so i guess it is safe enough
Unsure about that and anyway that would only be useful (if it existed) once a gun had been discharged. And anyway, how would such a sensor prevent a suicide bomber?

Look at that crowd, I doubt they had all been cleared ahead of time (as would happen in India), any one of them could be a potential risk and by stopping Modi exposed himself to that threat and the Nepali security were unable to maintain an effective cordon around either Modi or the cavalcade meaning people were within touching distance of both him and the vehicles in the convoy (another massive no-no).
