Black Cat Commandos will not be seen in VIP Security, Government completely Removed NSG Cover
After withdrawing SPG protection from the Gandhi family, the government has now decided to remove the NSG cover from the security of all VIPs. According to information from government sources, the National Security Guard (NSG) will now be kept away from the task of providing security to specific people. Even before this, the Home Ministry has reduced the security of many big leaders along with the removal of SPG security of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
Nearly two decades later, this will happen when the NSG's Black Cat Commandos will be kept away from the protection of VIPs. When the NSG was formed after the 1984 riots, the security of VIPs was not included in the responsibilities of this force. This special armed squad equipped with modern weapons provides security cover to VIPs, which is currently available to 13 VIPs with Z Plus security. About two dozen commandos are deployed to protect such VIPs.
Sources in the NSG told the news agency PTI that instead of the NSG posted under the protection of Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, this responsibility will soon be handed over to the paramilitary forces. Apart from these leaders, former CM Mayawati, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Chandrababu Naidu, Prakash Singh Badal, Farooq Abdullah also have NSG security cover. Along with this, Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and former Deputy Prime Minister LK Advani have also got NSG security.
