New Delhi: Anti-sabotage, anti-drone tasks, house intervention, snipers and teams handling chemical attacks, bomb disposal squads. India’s elite and highly equipped force, the National Security Guard (NSG), will deploy its entire range of expertise for the G20 Summit Delhi from September 9-10, sources told News18.
Besides, the NSG’s famous ‘black cats’ will be deployed at several strategic locations.
As part of the multiple contingency plans, the force will be the first responders and also give backup to the Delhi Police. The fully equipped NSG teams will be stationed at the venues where the heads of states will stay.
The NSG House Intervention Teams (HITs) and sniper detachments will be ready for action to neutralise any terror contingency in key locations. The NSG’s bomb disposal squad will be conducting anti-sabotage checks at all the important meeting venues as well as places of residence of key dignitaries. The squad will be all set to quickly respond to any bomb contingency during the summit and will be equipped with Remotely Operated Vehicles and Total Containment Vehicles to safely negotiate the potential bomb threats anywhere in the national capital.
The NSG will also be working closely with the Indian Air Force, Air Traffic Control (ATC) and other agencies to neutralise the potential rogue drone threats during the summit. The aerial insertion teams of NSG will also be stationed during the summit for all the important events to swiftly deal with any contingency. Besides, teams with multiple capabilities will be deployed for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Explosive (CBRNe) intervention, News18 reported.
Former NSG officers will be handling the security of VVIPs. The government has already called officers repatriated from the elite Special Protection Group (SPG) and NSG to provide security cover to the foreign dignitaries on the sidelines of the summit. These officers will provide cavalcade security and cover to the VVIPs.
