[Rahul9090]

NEW DELHI: In the wake of the recent attack on Karachi airport, a multi-agency security mock drill was carried out at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) here on Wednesday.

The drill involved swift operational movement of commandos of the National Security Guard (NSG), CISF and other airport security officials in the wake of a probable attack or a hijack like situation at the highly sensitive facility, thronged by thousands passengers.

The exercise went on for about an hour and it concluded swiftly and smoothly, sources involved in the drill said.

"The aim was to check the preparedness and coordination between all the security agencies deployed on the airport which includes the CISF, NSG, Delhi police and other civilian component of airport defence. The objective was to respond as one unit in the wake of a Karachi airport like attack," the sources said.

A crisis management group (CMG) was also activated during the drill period which observed the activities of the units working on ground, the sources added.

The Union home ministry, few days back, had alerted all the airports in the country in the backdrop of the attack in the port city of Pakistan after which vigil at these air facilities has been heightened.

Good. Need to prepare for the worst.

 

[indianwhistleblower]

But our previous experiences show the incompetency of our security forces to tackle situations like these.
Eg:Mumbai attack-took 3 days to kill 10 terrorsists,Pak forces took only 10hrs to kill 10 terrorists,

 

[Jaanbaz]

Always be ready to send these turds to hell early. Good move by Indian security agencies.

Eg:Mumbai attack-took 3 days to kill 10 terrorsists,Pak forces took only 10hrs to kill 10 terrorists,

India never faced this kind of enemy before.

Pakistan had Lal Masjid, GHQ, Mehran, is an Active War on Terror battlefield.

It doesn't matter how quickly a terrorist attack is put down, its how to improve the Intelligence Network so the last line of defense isn't needed.

Well I hope we are never faced with such an attack again, but if we do we need to be prepared for them.

Sir, I hope that this works out well if there is a real situation

as well Pakistan forces got relief because they attacked in cargo terminal. .. Mumbai attack is quite different. .. It was carried out in public place and hotels ...

Its good to never hope for the worst but always prepare for it.

Lessons have been learnt and you'd be foolish to thing the Indian response to any such attacks today would not be a million times better.

Mumbai attack was a hostage situation inside hotels. You do not have heavy security as compared to airports in Hotels. What happened in Karachi airport is small field operation. And India has learned the lessons.

...

India hasn't faced such enemies inside India, because we usually kill them before they get in. Pakistan's enemies all live inside Pakistan in the first place.

But our previous experiences show the incompetency of our security forces to tackle situations like these.
Eg:Mumbai attack-took 3 days to kill 10 terrorsists,Pak forces took only 10hrs to kill 10 terrorists,

Karachi airport has an airport security force. The streets and railway stations and hotels of Mumbai don't have counter terror units protecting them 24/7. Stop stupid comparisons, "Indian"whistleblower.

Mumbai attack gave us a major shock... I am very sure that Modi government is going to be very tough on country's Safety and security matter.
