Belapur: The National Security Guard (NSG) and Navi Mumbai Police conducted a joint anti-terror mock drill at Reliance Corporate Park in Ghansoli and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) premises in CBD Belapur. During the exercise, NSG commandos neutralised eight dummy terrorists and demonstrated the detection and defusal of two improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
