Home Minister P. Chidambaram has emphasised on setting up regional NSG hubs to facilitate fast counter terror strike. He said in Chennai today that such units of National Security Guards will help in bringing down the time to launch counter measures in the event of a terror strike. He said it took 12 hours for NSG to reach Mumbai from Manesar near Delhi during the 2008 terror attacks.

He was inaugurating the NSG regional hub, housing over 200 members of the elite commando force, at suburban Kolapakkam.
