The NSG commando hub at Kolkata will soon be fully operational with the Union Home Minister, Mr P. Chidamabaram, inaugurating the infrastructure facilities on September 21. The 20-acre hub at ‘Badu' near the international airport houses a squad of 241 crack commandos for anti-terror and counter-hijack operations for over a year.
“The infrastructure facilities at the hub have now been made permanent and it will have full facilities for the commandos stationed here for special operations,” the NSG Director General, Mr Rajan K. Medhekar, said.
The West Bengal Chief Minister, Ms Mamata Banerjee, will attend the event along with Mr Chidambaram.
