MUMBAI: Force One, Maharashtra's own special force raised on the lines of the elite National Security Guard (NSG), popularly known as Black Cat commandos, was commissioned on Tuesday.
The elite force's headquarters and training center is located inside Aarey Milk Colony at Goregaon in the western suburbs here. The facility is spread over 80 acres.
The need to have a special force on the lines of the NSG was felt after the last year’s November Mumbai terror attacks - and within a short span of a year's time, the force has been raised. Currently, Force One comprises 256 officers and men headed by an officer of the rank of Deputy Inspector General.
