Seven months after the 26/11 terror attack in Mumbai, the first of the four National Security Guards (NSG) hub outside Delhi was set up in Mumbai to reduce response time during an emergency situation. Opening the much-touted hub, Home Minister P Chidambaram, said he was happy to keep up the promise and that this will increase confidence of the people of the country that they are secured. "We are happy that the first of the four hubs has been inaugurated and the remaining three in Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad will be operational from tomorrow," Chidambaram said while inaugurating the NSG hub at suburban Kalina in Mumbai.
The 23-acre NSG campus in Marol at suburban Andheri will be ready by November 2009 and until then the NSG will be using the Kalina campus of Mumbai police. Around 250 NSG commandos will be stationed in Mumbai and 1,080 will be deployed all over the four hubs. "I am very happy that I have kept the promise. This will increase confidence of the people of the country that they are secured," the Home Minister said. The NSG is specially trained agency, whose principal aims are anti-terror, anti-hijack and rescue operations.
