Explanation

The National Security Guard (NSG) was established on October 16, 1984, following the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the security challenges highlighted by Operation Blue Star. Although the formal NSG Act was passed in 1986, the force's nucleus and initial raising began in 1984. The NSG is a specialized federal contingency force modeled after international units like the SAS and GSG-9. Its primary mandate includes high-risk counter-terrorism operations, neutralizing terrorist threats, and specialized tasks such as hostage rescue and anti-hijacking missions [2]. The force is divided into the Special Action Group (SAG) for counter-terrorism and the Special Ranger Group (SRG) for VIP security [1]. Given its specialized training in urban warfare and rapid response, both statements regarding its formation year and primary operational roles are correct.
