News Nation Bureau 13 January 2020, 09:38 AM
After effecting a major VIP security cut and withdrawal of SPG cover from the Gandhis, the central government has now decided to completely remove NSG commandos from this task. This will be after over two decades that the 'black cat' commandos of the elite counter-terror force will be taken out from VIP protection duties, a task not originally charted for it when the force was conceptualised and raised in 1984. The force provides proximate and mobile security cover — commandos armed with sophisticated assault weapons — under the top 'Z+' category to 13 'high-risk' VIPs that entails about two dozen personnel for each one of them.
