Pathankot Nsg

India and China made no headway on critical issues including New Delhi's entry into the elite Nuclear Suppliers Group or NSG and its demand to list Pathankot attack mastermind Masood Azhar as a terrorist by United Nations, at their first strategic dialogue in Beijing today.

Throwing its weight behind India, France on Wednesday said it will ensure that the proposal to designate Pakistan-based JeM Chief Masood Azhar a global terrorist is "reintroduced" at the Sanctions Committee of the UN Security Council.

Lt Col Niranjan EK, head of NSG's bomb disposal unit who was killed while sanitising a terrorist's body during the Pathankot air base terror attack in January, has been honoured with the Shaurya Chakra, the third highest peacetime gallantry medal of the country, on the eve of the 70th Independence Day.

The government today came in for a scathing attack in Lok Sabha over the handling of the terror strike on the Pathankot air base, with the opposition dubbing as a "critical mistake" the decision to handover the operation to National Security Guards (NSG).

Taking the first step towards gradually reverting to its original role of undertaking counter-terror operations, the National Security Guard or NSG has pulled out over 600 commandos from its VVIP security unit and used them for the first time during the recent Pathankot attack.

Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh today said sending National Security Guard (NSG) commandos to Pathankot Air Force base was a "serious lapse" and questioned the role of NSA Ajit Doval in the decision even as he denounced Narendra Modi's recent Lahore visit, saying it was unbecoming of a Prime Minister.

Scores of residents joined by local politicians here carried out a candlelight vigil in honour of the security personnel killed in the Pathankot terror attack.

The operation launched by the Indian Army to neutralise terrorists at the Pathankot Air Force base in Punjab is inching to a close. The operation, called Dhangu Suraksha, is named after the village Dhangu where the base is located.

The army today dismissed criticism over deployment of National Security Guard (NSG) over army in a predominant manner in the counter-terror operation in the Pathankot air base, saying it was a "joint decision" and that the army was fully involved in it.

A man has been arrested in Kerala for making an insulting Facebook post about National Security Guard commando Lieutenant Colonel EK Niranjan, who was martyred in the counter-offensive against terrorists at the Pathankot air base on Sunday.

The commandos of elite National Security Guard used 'buster' ammunition tools, the most sophisticated assault weapon, to neutralise the terrorists during the military operations at the Pathankot air base, sources said today.

Hundreds of people gathered at the home of Lt Colonel Niranjan Kumar in Kerala's Palakkad on Tuesday morning to bid farewell to the National Security Guard officer, who died on Sunday while defusing a grenade after terrorists attacked an air force base in Pathankot.

I've been holding off on writing this piece for more than 36 hours now. I didn't feel it would be appropriate to sit down and analyse the fallout of an attack that was still being responded to by our security forces. It's been a long 60 hours since news of the attack first came in.

The hijacking of a police officer's car by terrorists disguised in uniform should have set off alarm bells and helped prevent the deadly weekend attack on the Pathankot air base, officials and security experts have said.

After over 80 hours since the Pathankot air base came under attack from terrorists, military operations at the base have finally ended, sources have said. Flying at the air base has resumed and Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar is currently there, taking stock of the situation.
