Gujarat police to procure 4000 INSAS rifles

Gandhinagar, Apr 13 (PTI)

In a bid to equip its police force with modern weapons, Gujarat police would be acquiring 4000 Indian Small Arms System (INSAS)rifles in October this year.


"We procured 2,000 INSAS rifles in 2008-09 and will be getting 4,000 more in coming October. INSAS rifles are mostly used by BSF, CRPF and para military forces," a state home department official said.

He also said that the state's pending demand for 12 more marine police stations is likely to be approved by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs.

Currently, there are 10 marine police stations in the state, along the 1600-km-long coast line.

On various plans to strengthen the state's security apparatus, the official said that in last two years, around 5,000 posts in the police force have been created with the addition of State Reserved Police (SRP) battalions.

"We created around 5,000 new posts in the force. Moreover, we will add four more chetak commando units next year," he said.

"Currently, we have two Chetak commando units, which is based on NSG model and two more will be added this year while we plan to double it by next year, and then the commando units will be spread across the state and stationed in Saurashtra, Kutch and South Gujarat," he said.

Each chetak commando unit has 120 commandos which are trained extensively."One commando unit is under training at Jodhpur and subsequently, that unit will be sent for advanced training in jungle warfare," the official said, adding "we strictly follow the age and physical fitness standards in the commando units."

[Raj Malhotra]

Kalantak is very old news, more like short barrel INSAS rifle, or a off shoot of failed INSAS carbine. No indication that it has been or will be adopted

Kalantak was a good rifle but suffer with overheating and inaccurate fire, if it was chambered for 5.56x30mm it may showed some +points..

thanks for pic, can you provide more info on the rifle scope........

No it has no relation with Indian Army, Insas 5.56mm is Indian army regular assault rifle, Insas replacement can only be Insas, and its possiable a bullpup varient..

I said that beacuse they were not in uniform and there are a number of insurgent groups in the NE that have weapons looted from our security forces.
How could I distinguish them if they were wearing casuals ?
