With increased threat from Pakistan in Kashmir and Punjab, the National Security Guard (NSG) is increasing its presence in Amritsar and Pathankot Districts, S S Deswal, Director General of the elite commando force said, reports news18.com on October 15. “From the last one year, we have a functional hub in Srinagar and also respond to emergency situations in Jammu and Kashmir, keeping in view the security environment. Our neighbouring country does not behave with desired ethics and there is mischief from the other side. So to cater to those situations, a functional hub has been established in Srinagar and we are in the process of deciding to establish the latest hub in the vicinity of Amritsar and Pathankot" he said. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) has given the go-ahead for the sixth NSG hub which will result in 500 commandos being based permanently in Pathankot.
