The correct answer is D) CISF will lay the inner cordon and on arrival of NSG task force it (NSG) will assume the overall command.
In the initial phase of a hijack crisis at an Indian airport, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), which is responsible for airport security, lays the inner cordon around the aircraft. When the National Security Guard (NSG) task force, the designated counter-terrorism intervention force, arrives, they take over the overall command of the operation, including the management of the inner cordon and the potential intervention.
The security response to an aircraft hijack is multi-layered and involves various agencies. CISF provides the initial security ring. State Police and potentially other forces may provide outer cordons and support. The NSG is the primary intervention force for situations like hijackings. The command structure shifts to the NSG commander upon their arrival.
