New Delhi: A team of commandos has been deployed around IGI airport in the wake of the Paris terror attack. Called anti-terrorist squad and trained by the NSG, these commandos are armed with assault rifles and advanced gadgets. And senior officials claim they will form an unbreakable security ring around the airport.
The team has undergone weeks of rigorous training at the Police Training College in Jharoda Kalan and is capable of handling all types of weapons for anti-terror and anti-hijack roles. They have been familiarised with the entire airport, including air traffic control, aircraft bays and even interiors of an aircraft so that in times of emergency, they can react quickly. They will be mainly posted at the outer level of the airport.
"Their training and combat skills are airport-centric. From getting into a highjacked aircraft without being visible to the enemy to eliminating the targets, and from rescuing the hostages to gathering intelligence, these men will proficiently deal with the situation," said Dinesh Kumar Gupta, DCP IGI.
