Centre sends NSG to J&K to thwart terror strikes ahead of Amarnath Yatra
Jammu
Ahead of the Amarnath Yatra, the central government has sent a team of National Security Guards (NSG) to Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir to deal with any terror-related incident. Sources told Zee News that commandos of the NSG would be deputed across Srinagar.
According to sources, the commandos have been asked to be prepared to deal with any hostage-like situation. Apart from this, they will also be stationed at Srinagar airport to tackle any eventuality. About two dozen NSG snipers have been camped at BSF headquarters in Humhama srinagar. The NSG commandos presence in Kashmir was reportedly cleared in April by the Home Ministry.
NSG commandos sent to Jammu and Kashmir have been equipped with latest range of weapons. However, the Ministry of Home Affairs has not revealed details about the weapons.
This comes just days after the central government decide to resume anti-terror operations in the state following a one-month suspension of the same during Ramzan. Several encounters have been conducted by armed forces since the resumption of the operations and many terrorists have been killed.
