The correct answer is C) NSG. The National Security Guard (NSG) has been officially designated as the primary Counter Hijack Task Force by the Government of India.

The NSG is India’s elite counter-terrorism force. Its mandate includes handling various high-risk situations, including hostage rescue and counter-hijack operations for aircraft. Specialized teams within the NSG are trained specifically for intervention in hijack scenarios.

BCAS (Bureau of Civil Aviation Security) is the regulatory authority for civil aviation security. CISF (Central Industrial Security Force) is responsible for security at airports, including access control and screening, but not the primary operational counter-hijack response. SPG (Special Protection Group) provides security to the Prime Minister. While other forces may have supporting roles, the NSG is the designated operational force for countering aircraft hijacking in India.
