New Delhi, June 12

The elite National Security Guards (NSG) will soon set up units in Ayodhya, Pathankot and Kerala, said official sources. According to sources quoted by agencies, the unit in Ayodhya is likely to become operational by August, while the other two units in Pathankot and Kerala will be up and running by the year-end.

The move will help the police and Central Armed Police Force units in capacity-building and lessen the response time for the NSG in case of any adverse situation, sources added.
