Mumbai:
As Mumbai observes the first anniversary of the 26/11 terror attacks, National Security
Guards chief on Thursday assured the denizens of better security with the setting of an NSG hub in the metropolis.
"With an NSG hub set up in Mumbai in June this year, I assure citizens that the Black Cats would rise to their call of duty in case of emergencies," National Security Guard (NSG) unit chief N P S Aulakh said at the 'Jai Mumbai' conclave at Hotel Taj President here.
Aulakh, while thanking the city police, said the NSG commandos in Mumbai are undergoing continuous training and are conducting mock drills at various locations in the city.
"The 26/11 terror attack was the most traumatic experience not only for the citizens but also for the NSG commandos, who exhibited dauntless professionalism," the 1972 batch IPS officer said.
He further said that the manner in which the Black Cats were welcomed after the operations ended at Hotel Taj remain etched in the memories of the commandos and has reinforced the NSG's cause and motto of 'Sarvatra Sarvottam Suraksha'.
The Director General said it was difficult for the NSG commandos to immediately take over the situation as it was a new place.
"The officers had to take help from police to scour the rooms of both Hotel Taj and Trident," Aulakh said.
