This NSG commando regional hub at Kolkata was fully operationalised on September 21, 2011 with the inauguration by Home Minister P Chidamabaram.
The 20-acre hub at ‘Badu’ near the international airport houses a squad of 241 crack commandos for anti-terror and counter-hijack operations.
The hub has permanent buildings and commando barracks along with infrastructure for administrative and other works, constructed by the National Buildings Construction Corporation of India (NBCC).
The decision to deploy National Security Guard (NSG) commandos at strategic locations in the country and reduce their ‘strike time’ for conducting “swift” anti-terror operations was taken in the aftermath of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks in 2008.
Four NSG hubs have been created in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai and Kolkata.
