DMP SEPT 25 (DIMAPUR 24X7)  In a first of its kind in the State, a comprehensive two-day mock Counter Terrorism exercise was successfully conducted on September 23rd and 24th 2025, spearheaded by the National Security Guard (NSG), to test and strengthen the coordinated response of multiple agencies in the event of a crisis. The exercise simulated a terrorist attack leading to a hostage situation, with scenarios unfolding at four different key locations. A workshop on CT-Urban Operation was also conducted by NSG and Dimapur Police on September 25th 2025, at Police Complex Chumoukedima for professional capacity building.
 

The mock terrorist attacks were initiated on September 23rd at St. Joseph University and Niathu Resort under Chumoukedima district. The drill continued on September 24th at the BSNL Exchange, Dimapur and NIT Chumoukedima.
The exercise began with a swift response from the primary first responders - the Dimapur Police Commissionerate and the District Administration. Their initial actions were supported by a wide range of other stakeholders who played crucial roles in the coordinated effort. These included the Fire and Emergency Services, medical teams from District Hospital Dimapur and Police Referral Hospital Chumoukedima, FSL, Traffic Police, IRB, NAP rangers, Assam Rifles and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF). The culmination of the exercise involved a simulated hostage rescue and neutralization of the armed terrorists by highly-trained National Security Guard (NSG) Commandos.
 

This mock drill served as a critical platform for various agencies to practice an inter-agency coordinated and synergized response. It highlighted the importance of seamless communication and collaboration to effectively manage and neutralize a terrorist threat. The successful completion of this drill underscores the commitment of all participating agencies to remain prepared and equipped to face and respond to such complex crisis situations. The workshop on Urban Operations also further enhanced our capabilities in tackling close quarter combat scenarios involving terrorists/criminals in urban settings.
 

The Dimapur Police Commissionerate would like to extend its deep appreciation to the NSG for their exemplary and professional work, to all the stakeholders and other participants that took part in this exercise and to the public in general for extending your co-operation during this mock exercise.
