Fast changing national and international scenario, terrorism, naxalism and spurt in cyber crimes as well as social, economical, industrial and technological development has brought inherent challenges to the internal security of the country, ADG O P Galhotra said today.
"In such a scenario, the role of police commandos has been increasingly felt to be more vital and crucial. Keeping this in mind many states have commando squads," the ADG said.
