In India, which one of the following forces is designated to deal with Anti-Hijacking operations ?
Explanation
The National Security Guard (NSG), popularly known as the 'Black Cats', is India's premier counter-terrorism unit under the Ministry of Home Affairs. Established in 1984, it is the specific force designated to handle anti-hijacking operations involving aircraft, buses, or trains, as well as hostage rescue missions. While the CISF (Central Industrial Security Force) is responsible for the security and surveillance of airports to prevent such incidents, the tactical intervention during an actual hijack is the mandate of the NSG. The SPG (Special Protection Group) is dedicated solely to the security of the Prime Minister of India, and the BSF (Border Security Force) is primarily a border-guarding force responsible for India's land borders during peacetime.
