Currently, NSG has been stationed in the Kashmir Valley for quite sometime and is undergoing hard time training in the outskirts of the city.
The teams will be kept at the disposal of the J&K Police.
The move to deploy NSG commandos in Kashmir is because of several attacks and lost of our many jawans.
According to the report of SSB Crack, locals support the terrorist to hide. So the task of the NSG will be to find Terrorist from each building and house that's why they are amongst special forces .
