NSG to have permanent structures at new hubs by next year

NSG commandos deployed at their new hubs in four cities and currently housed in temporary locations will have permanent structures at their earmarked lands by next year.
    
The permanent structures and multi-storey buildings will come up by next year at these places, National Security Guard director general NPS Aulakh said.
    
Till the permanent structures come up, the commandos will be housed in pre-fabricated structures by mid-December this year at their designated lands, he said.

"The National Building Constructions Corporation (NBCC) had given us the deadline of November 30 for completion of pre-fabricated structures and roads etc. At the most, we will move into all the four hubs by second week of December," he said.

The regional hub at Mumbai was operationalised on June 30 while Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata hubs were inaugurated on July 1 by Union Home Minister P Chidambaram this year.

The hubs are located at Marol in Mumbai (23 acres), Nedunkundram in Chennai (85 acres), Trimulghery in Hyderabad (22 acres) and Badu in Kolkata (20 acres).

On the training of commandos, the DG said the force will have commando induction training at its Manesar (Haryana) garrison only, near the national capital.

"We have decided that in order to maintain a very high standard of training and to keep its uniformity, it (training) will be done at Manesar garrison only. This would be the basic induction training which runs for 12-weeks," he said.
