A coordinated anti-hijack mock exercise was conducted at Dabolim airport on Tuesday.
According to the Defence PRO at Mumbai, the response and synergy among various agencies such as Indian Navy, CISF, AAI, Dept of Home Affairs, IB, police, etc. were evaluated to ensure effective crisis management in a hijack scenario.
An armed intervention was also exercised by Quick Reaction Teams (QRTs) of NSG, Marine Commandos, Police and CISF.
