Mysuru: Mysuru, the cultural capital of Karnataka has one more ‘secure’ feather to its cap - Special Commando Force (SCF) that will exclusively deal with anti-terror operations and will not be a part of the city civil Police force. The force was formally launched yesterday during the Republic Day Parade held at Torchlight Parade Grounds, Bannimantap. Soon after the launch, the commandoes presented an eye-catching and awe-inspiring anti-terror operation where a bus was rescued from being the target of terrorists and also demonstrated VVIP security during an emergency. A Mobile Command Centre, part of SCF, was also launched on the occasion. Speaking to Star of Mysore this morning, City Police Commissioner Dr. A. Subrahmanyeswara Rao, who underwent a special training in the US in 2006, said that the team will be specially trained for commando activities and to counter terrorism. The SCF will be deployed to counter specific cases, especially during emergencies to ensure safety and security. “We will provide advanced and suitable weapons to the team members and only personnel with dedication have been appointed to the force,” he said.
