The National Security Guard (NSG) practiced fighting terrorists in Visakhapatnam for four days.
They did mock drills in places like the port and a factory.

Unfortunately, during one of the drills, a small part of the exercise went wrong at the factory, and a child got hurt.
They were taken to the hospital for treatment.
