National Security Guard-type force to fight terror in Punjab

CHANDIGARH: The Punjab Government has decided to raise a Special Operations Group (SOG) under the state police on the lines of the National Security Guard (NSG) to fight terrorists. Sources said the specialist group will comprise 600-odd highly trained men in black, and the Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT) of 40 commandos, trained by Israel and stationed at the Bahadurgarh Commando Complex near Patiala, will be brought under it. SOG will have three units of 200- odd men each, selected from the best commandos and state police. Two units of the Special Operations Group to be raised by the Punjab government will be ready for action anywhere in the state in a matter of minutes, while the third unit will be constantly on training. The commandoes will be made abreast with the latest techniques of fighting terror as well as fire power accuracy. The group will also be sent to the NSG Training Complex in Manesar, Haryana, and army units for specialised training modules, an officer said. It is a brain child of Punjab Director General of Police Suresh Arora. The new unit will be headed by ADGP Rakesh Chandra, who has considerable experience in these kinds of operations. He has carried out operations in Punjab and was also a member of the Special Task Force in J&K. Punjab Police will be the first state police in North India to have this elite unit. Mumbai Police has one, named Force 1, while Karnataka has its Octopus. CRPF has a similar unit, called Cobra, to carry out anti-Naxal operations in Chhattisgarh.

We have seen how well equipped and well armed the Mizo Police Forces are. Well our prize state and one of the seven sister Arunachal isn't far behind too.

Arunachal Armed Police Special Task Force - the elite Police Commandos are as heavily armed as any elite military forces. They seems to have seek the proven SIG instead of M4 carbine.

Funny thing about Mizoram is that for a well equipped and well trained force were considered the most peaceful state in NE.

This just in as breaking news on Zee News, an alleged ISI agent has been arrested by UP ATS and Military Intelligence in Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh. Faizabad is my home town and is also the Regimental Center of Dogra Regiment.

Didn't read anything in this topic but I will say IPS is drastically undertrained, underfunded, and underequipped. I think even basic training and regular fitness regimens will bolster performance. There is no reason why I should see police who are fat or have any semblance of a "gut".

Nine years after 26/11, Mumbai Police set to be bulletproof jackets

The image of then Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare+ putting on a bulletproof vest before taking on terrorists on 26/11 is etched in the minds of Mumbaikars. As it turned out, the vest was no match for the terrorists' AK 47s, which claimed Karkare's life as well as the lives of Additional Commissioner of Police Ashok Kamte and encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar that night.

Nine years and several controversies later, the Maharashtra Police have placed an order for 5,000 bulletproof vests with MKU, a reputed military equipment manufacturer headquartered in Kanpur, who will be importing the vests from Germany.

The last time the state police bought bulletproof vests was 16 years ago, in 2001, when it bought 110 vests, but they were woefully inadequate, as was proved in the 26/11 attacks.


Investigations later revealed that the vests were of a sub-standard quality and could insulate the police from shots fired from 9-mm pistols alone. The 2-lakh-strong Maharashtra police force currently has only 2,000 bulletproof vests, which were supplied by the Centre in March 2011.

The new and improved vests will cost Rs 32,474 each and will be distributed among various units of the police force. "We will be dividing the vests among our forces like Mumbai Police, Quick Response Team (QRT), Force One, State Reserve Police Force (SRPF), Special Forces, Gadchiroli police and police manning Naxal areas," Additional Director General of Police V V Laxminarayana told Mumbai Mirror.

The jackets were tested at the Central Forensic Laboratory in Chandigarh and the results were positive. They were tested for the AK series of rifles, Self-Loading Rifles, MP5 submachine guns, Indian Small Arms System (INSAS) and other sophisticated weapons. "We will be testing them again once we get the delivery in June," added Laxminarayana.


Bomb suit scam

After the hue and cry over substandard vests post 26/11, the government made a few attempts to procure bulletproof vests, but they were mired in controversy. In 2011, the government placed an order to buy 80 bomb suits costing Rs 6 crore.

The suits were of sub-standard quality and never got delivered. The government lodged a complaint about the 'bomb suit scam' with the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) against the supplying company Techno Trade Impex and its directors Bimal Agarwal, Barkha and Kishore Agarwal.


Shrikant Tarwade, who was the assistant inspector general of police (provision) at the time, was also charge-sheeted in the scam for his role in procuring the suits.



Ever since, IPS officers have been wary of ordering bulletproof vests or bomb suits, admitted a senior IPS officer. "But one had to take a decision. We can't just sit on files like this. Tomorrow, if something happens, we will be short of bulletproof vests," he added.

The officer said that the contract was handed to MKU, which is a registered supplier for NATO and UN, after due procedure. The company was selected from among four players for their experience and price.


Chetan Kothari, who filed several RTIs about the procurement of bulletproof vests, told Mirror, "This is a welcome move. After 26/11, this was an urgent requirement, but it kept getting delayed for some reason or the other."

May be it is journalist mistake by typing wrong story. Actually MKU is exporting Bullet proof jackets to German army. So there is no way that MKU will import from Germany.
