Extra work, red tape mar NSG capability

New Delhi: The National Security Guards (NSG) may have been the focus of a lot of attention and praise for Operation ‘Black Tornado’ which they mounted in Mumbai, but the fact remains that in the 24 years since the force was raised its status as an elite commando force has been severely undermined.

Extra work, red tape mar NSG capabilityBy: derek | Friday , 5 Dec '08 19:13:58 PM Reply | Forward Why should the government pay for the upgrades of the weapons and ammunition required by the NSG? If they do so they will have less money to pocket. They do not care abouth the safety and security of the nation, only theirs. it is about time the honest people of India revolted against these guys and kicked them out of office.
protestBy: I. Agarwal | Friday , 5 Dec '08 14:41:06 PM Reply | Forward NSG has no business to be providing security to elected representatives in a democracy. Let them get on with their job.Since we are so good at starting new organisations at the drop of the hat why not create a VIP protection force and let the VIPs pay for its services.
ProtestBy: Madhavi | Friday , 5 Dec '08 17:30:14 PM Reply | Forward It is an good idea that the VIP'S only should be asked to pay for their security but how will this idea come to practice? for this certain refoms needs to be changed.
NSGBy: subbarayan | Friday , 5 Dec '08 13:33:37 PM Reply | Forward Imagine, a Pakistan company winning a tender to provide ammunition /bullet proof vests or other material to NSG. Everything is bought under the tender process.The cheapest provider wins.
What does NSG stand for?By: Bidhanchandra | Friday , 5 Dec '08 13:32:16 PM Reply | Forward The way the government is mismanaging the NSG, the NSG will only become Naive Sacrificial Goats for the terrorists, and Bakri-Id is not very far off!
NSGBy: Balaraman Radhakrishnan | Friday , 5 Dec '08 13:20:47 PM Reply | Forward It is a shame why security agencies are under the control of babus, who only know how to comply with rules. If a politician is to be protected, all rules will be thrown to the winds and s/he would get it in 24 hours. When it is for the tax-payers, they have to be wait endlessly. Let RAW, IB, NSG and SPG be made autonomous organisations and do not allow the babus, especially the egoistic IAS, to mess around with it.
NSGBy: captainjohann | Friday , 5 Dec '08 11:51:17 AM Reply | Forward Once NSG units are raised in states, what is the need for large aircrafts to airlift them?It is another kargil coffin scam when normal purchase procedures are bypasssed.ARC aircrafts are there with crew at standby 30 mts.If one aircraft was at chandigarh on that particular day, what happenned to others like AN32? When oscar force of Navy commadoes were operating what was the use of NSG?Why the BRASS of NSG not asking for better bullet proof vests,better helmets,better weapons and better comm equipment but asking for aircrafts?If QRT is the need how come 10 LET fellows could hold elite oscar and Army commandoes from pune and NSG for 62 hours?
PoliticiansBy: Bakul Patel | Friday , 5 Dec '08 11:47:49 AM Reply | Forward If some of our politicians get killed by the militants it will be good for the country and humanity
Politicians.By: Madhavi | Friday , 5 Dec '08 17:33:19 PM Reply | Forward India and Indians won't feel ashamed if we have to hire militants to kill the politicians.If they want to survive they in near future will have to prove that they are loyal to Nation and the democracy.
PoliticiansBy: raghava | Friday , 5 Dec '08 14:34:05 PM Reply | Forward Yes I STRONGLY WITH U, 'SOME OF THE POLITICIANS MUST BE KILLED BY MILITANTS.
FunnyBy: Rama | Friday , 5 Dec '08 11:46:42 AM Reply | Forward The SPG gets all while the NSG has to suffer. Simply because big politicians are better able to protect their ass while the public can defend themselves. No wonder that after every attck all that our politicians advise to the public is to "stay vigilant". If we need to stay vigilant ourselves and protect ourselves,what are the corrupt netas doing in power?
GSG-9By: Shweta | Friday , 5 Dec '08 11:35:36 AM Reply | Forward Ritu Sarin ITS GERMAN GSG-9 NOT 'SGS'.....You call yourself a journalist??Jeeez!Get your facts right girl.
Dont spoil IndiaBy: Vj | Friday , 5 Dec '08 11:28:40 AM Reply | Forward First make NSG as an autonomous body..In order to give power to NSA, all such nastic politics takes place in NSG..Put a man like Gill and he should take any action without any consultation.. That much training has to be given to him...Its not necessary you have to go to abroad for training..There are many IAS and intelligence officials in India.. We can best utilise them to make a very good training for the NSG.. Pls. PM
