Mumbai to get Force One

Nearly a year after 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, the city gets its first batch of Force One commandos, an elite force formed on the lines of National Security Guards (NSG), for the state security.

"The city would have its own elite force, as the first batch of the Force One has been trained and soon they will become operational," said Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Chandra Iyengar. Over 1,600 young policemen from the state had expressed their willingness to join the force and were given rigorous training by Israeli and German trainers, Iyengar said.

The state government has alloted land at Goregaon in western suburbs to the force for training and easy access in emergency situation, she said.

The Home Department has also focused on upgradation of police force, coastal security, strengthening Intelligence and participation of people in security. — PTI
