Indian response to terror
NZPA-Reuter New Delhi India has decided to form a 23.000-man anti-terrorist force to combat the kind of .extremist violence that led to the storming of Amritsar’s Golden Temple, sources said yesterday. Official sources said the force, called the National Security Guard, would recruit 23 battalions of 1000 members each from the Army, police and para-mili-tary units. The main role of the force, which would be fully deployed by 1989, would be to prevent outbreaks of sectarian violence like the Sikh-Hindu clashes that led to the assault on the Golden Temple, the holiest shrine in the Sikh religion.
