Manesar (Gurgaon):
The elite black cat commando force National Security Guards (NSG) has got an inspiring new song penned by renowned lyricist Gulzar and sung by noted playback singer Shankar Mahadevan.
The four-minute song is about the courage and valour of the NSG commandos who valiantly fought terrorists during the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, and will be unveiled by Union Home Minister P Chidambaram here on Friday.
"The song encapsulates the grit, courage and the history of the National Security Guards. While Gulzar has written the lyrics, Shankar Mahadevan has composed and sung it," an NSG source said.
The song has a patriotic tune with military beats in the background, symbolising the work style and special operations of the "men in black", the sources said.
While the song uses words like "shaurya" (courage) and the NSG's slogan "Sarvatra Sarvottam Suraksha" (best security everywhere), it also speaks about the commando forces' stride to the other parts of the country with the establishment of new NSG hubs.
The force celebrates its silver jubilee on Friday. The NSG has undertaken special operations since 1984. The last operation by the force was "Operation Black Tornado" in Mumbai to eliminate the terrorists who attacked the city on November 26, 2008.
