National Security Guard (NSG) deployed in J&K for anti-terror Operations
NSG Black Cats deployed in Jammu And Kashmir after Governor's rule on June, 20 2018
The elite National Security Guards, popularly known as Black Cats, are likely to be deployed soon in counter-militancy operations in Jammu & Kashmir which were placed under Governor’s rule on June, 20.
The State was on Wednesday placed under Governor's rule for the fourth time in the last one decade after the BJP withdrew support to its alliance partner, the PDP, prompting Mehbooba Mufti to resign as the Chief Minister.
NSG as a force-multiplier for anti-militancy forces deployed in J&K
The decision for NSG deployment in counter-terror operations was taken by the Home Ministry. The teams will be kept at the disposal of the Jammu & Kashmir Police, which is the nodal agency for all anti-militancy operations. NSG would be helpful in a situation where a room-to-room intervention is required.
The NSG commandos use sophisticated Heckler and Koch MP5 submachine guns, sniper rifles, through-the-wall radar and C-4 explosives to eliminate holed up terrorists without causing much damage to the structure.
