MEERUT: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath laid the foundation stone of an Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) commando training centre at Deoband in Saharanpur district on Tuesday. The centre will come up in the town that houses world renowned Islamic seminary Darul Uloom.
“A total of 56 commandos will be permanently deployed here. This is my message to terrorists: If you conspire against the nation, our commandos will finish you, no matter where you hide,” said the UP CM said, addressing a public rally.
“ATS has done a lot of good work. During past regimes, there were terror attacks – on Ram janmabhoomi, Kashi’s Sankat Mochan temple, courts in Lucknow, Rampur’s CISF centre, etc. They were regular, and terrorists changed colours like chameleon. In a similar way, Babua (Akhilesh Yadav) of Samajwadi Party is also saying that had it been their government, they would have made the Ram mandir. Now they are also saying lord Krishna is visiting them in their dreams.”
Spread over 2,000 sqm, the ATS centre will have nearly 100 commandos who will keep an eye on the communally-sensitive regions of western Uttar Pradesh. It will also have around 15 IPS officers.
The Yogi government has plans to set up similar ATS centres across the state, including in Meerut, Bahraich, Shravasti and Gautam Buddha Nagar.
