The National Security Guard (NSG) has begun a month-long specialised counter-terror training programme for about 500 Karnataka police personnel in Bengaluru. Chief Minister D K Shivakumar inaugurated the programme on Friday at Manekshaw Parade Ground, where the NSG demonstrated its capabilities. The training covers counter-terrorist interventions, counter-drone operations, unarmed combat, sniper training, tactical hostage negotiations, and bomb disposal.
Most personnel are from Bengaluru City, the Internal Security Division, and district police. Shivakumar also announced a 50% hike in police hardship allowance. The training aims to boost the ability of police as first responders during emergencies.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources report the training programme neutrally, but the Times of India leads with the NSG drill and capability demonstration, while Deccan Herald tucks the training after the hardship allowance announcement. The Times of India frames the event as a security preparedness measure, whereas Deccan Herald presents it as part of a broader police welfare story. Neither source includes criticism or alternative views. The combined coverage suggests the government is highlighting both operational readiness and police welfare ahead of elections. The allowance hike announcement adds a political layer to the security narrative.
