Chennai gets NSG hub
Wednesday, July 1, 2009

The National Security Guard(NSG) regional unit in Chennai is going operational from July 1st onwards. The Chennai hub will be inaugurated by Union Home Minister P Chidambaram.

The NSG hub will be set up in 85 acres of land at Vandalur near Chennai and till it becomes functional, the unit will continue operating from Police Training Centre in Chennai.

By setting up new bases, the government expects to bring down the response time of NSG to act in case of terror events. Besides Chennai, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Kolkata are also getting NSG hubs.
