Army, Marine Commandos (MARCOS) and National Security Guard (NSG) commandos are involved in a fierce encounter with a group of terrorists inside the Taj and Oberoi hotels.

"NSG is here. They are carrying out a very deliberative operation. They are trained for it and are the best in the country. I have faith in them," Major General RK Hooda General Officer Commanding of Maharashtra, Goa and Gujarat, who is supervising the operations at the Taj Hotel, said.

While the Army commandos will carry out the flushing-out operations in Taj Hotel, the National Security Guard commandos and the MARCOS will undertake operations at the Trident (Oberoi) Hotel, where it is believed that the terrorists are holding hostages.

Hooda, the top most Army General in Maharashtra, said the operation clean-up at the Taj will start from the top floor and the personnel will carry out a room-to-room combing operation.
