The mock drills were meticulously planned to focus on high-risk and vulnerable targets in the popular tourist destinations of Kasol and Manali.

Over the course of two days, the NSG commandos simulated various scenarios, including counter-terror operations, hostage rescue missions and counter-improvised explosive device (IED) operations within an urban setting. These exercises were crucial in testing the readiness and effectiveness of the security forces in handling complex and high-pressure situations.
The drills were conducted in collaboration with the state police and civil authorities, highlighting the importance of inter-agency coordination in maintaining security and protecting civilians. The exercises also provided valuable insights into the execution of counter-terror strategies and the implementation of swift, decisive actions to neutralise threats.
