Q94 (CISF/2018) Polity & Governance › Governance, Policies & Social Justice

Which one of the following organizations has been designated as the Counter Hijack Task Force by the Government of India ?

Explanation

The National Security Guard (NSG) is the designated Counter Hijack Force of India. Established in 1984 under the National Security Guard Act, 1986, it is a federal contingency force under the Ministry of Home Affairs. Within the NSG, the 52 Special Action Group (SAG) is the elite unit specifically trained and tasked with tactical intervention in hijacking situations. While the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) acts as the regulatory authority for aviation security and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) provides physical security at airports, the actual responsibility for counter-hijack operations lies with the NSG. The Special Protection Group (SPG) is responsible only for the proximate security of the Prime Minister of India. The NSG is frequently referred to as the National Counter Hijack Force in official security protocols.
