That was just PM's vehicle crossing by.
Or did I miss something?

haha no, you didn't miss anything that was it- the PM's motorcade.

One just don't seem to come across such videos at all- in contrast to the arrangements of other heads of states in the world that are all over youtube. I find it quite interesting to see this as normally you only witness the motorcade during official occasions (R-day, I-day etc) from official sources (DD).

But a SRG unit was recently converted to Counter terror role.

Not really, post-26/11 they were given a secondary role of "supporting" the SAG for tasks such as perimeter protection and such as a contingency option in case of another large scale attack that stretches SAG's resources. But the SRG are not tasked for the room-intervention/HR/CT role and will NEVER be the first guys in- that will always be SAG.

I read there's a sniper among the NSG guys who protect PM. True?

Not exactly. During the large official occasions such as R-day/I-day the NSG is deployed (along with a lot of CAPFs) for specific security tasks- one of them being "overwatch" with sniper teams (assault teams are also forward-deployed to act as a QRF in case of an incident).

The NSG do not directly guard the PM- that is handled by the SPG who have their own counter-sniper unit (CSU) in addition to their Counter Assault Team (CAT). In specific instances (large, pre-planned occasions) the NSG will assist the SPG where possible.

@Abingdonboy bro i dont know exactly the year of pics previously i posted. In some pics gear seems to be quite old but they can use old gear during training. So cant figure out the exact year.

Nice! The best/closest picture of one of the NSG's Sherpas to date. I'm amazed at the number of journalists invited to these things who take along their cameras for reporting purposes but fail to snap pictures of such significance.

True, but it doesn't make sense to train in old/phased out equipment. The Indian Mil (and thus NSG) are all about "train as you fight" as such all training will be conducted using the very latest equipment/ and tactics- there's no utility in training in equipment you won't be taking on operations with you.


Hence the latest I would say these pictures were taken is 2011.

Why does a CT unit like NSG need M249?
