Narendra Modi’s new anti-terror mantra: 111 QRTs

111 QRTs: 78 in the districts; 12 in Ahmedabad; 6 in Vadodara; 6 in Surat; 3 in Rajkot; 3 in Western Railway (Vadodara); 3 in State Control Room (Gandhinagar).

The Special Operations Group (SOG) of the state Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) will brief monitoring and coordinating QRTs.

Each QRT will have six commandos and will be headed by a Sub-Inspector with a Head Constable as second-in-command.

Three constables will be "fighter operators" while the sixth member -- a constable driver -- will also be "combatised".

The state police also plan to provide armoured vehicles with NIJ Level III protection to all QRTs.

"Special QRTs with modern weaponry and well-trained commandos to combat terrorism may be in place by the end of this financial year," Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Sudhir Sinha was quoted in the Indian Express.
