The National Security Guard (NSG) is a contingency force specially equipped to deal with anti-terrorist activities and to protect states against internal disturbances. After which major military operation did the Indian parliament establish the NSG?

Correct option is A

The National Security Guard (NSG) was established by the Indian Parliament after Operation Blue Star in 1984. The operation was a military action aimed at removing militants who were hiding inside the Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab. The operation involved significant loss of life and property, and the need for a specialized force to handle such high-risk situations led to the formation of the NSG. The NSG was designed to handle counter-terrorism operations, hostage rescue missions, and to deal with internal disturbances more effectively.

1. NSG was established after Operation Blue Star, a military operation in 1984.
2. The NSG is a special counter-terrorism force with highly trained personnel.
3. The NSG is called upon for critical operations such as hostage rescues, counter-terrorism operations, and bomb disposal.
