The Defence ministry is looking out for land near Belgaum to set up a Anti Terror Squad training centre. The Tahshildars have been given letters for the same and they have been told to identify land in Khanapur & Savadati talukas.
Sources say that Jamboti and Savadatti are the two shortlisted location wherein Jamboti could be selected, sources said.
Still the entire process on paper and what kind of training will be provided is yet to be decided.
Belgaum already has its pride the MLIRC and Airforce station. The ITBP also is building its camp near Hallbhavi.

It will not be in Belgaum City and its surroundings… I have seen the place Its in JAMBOTI and is 300 acers area in dense jungles and will be a training centre for Anti-Naxalite activities. JAMBOTI is chosen because of its similarity of the jungles with the jungles where naxalites operate.
ATS @ Belgaum will be a pride to the city.
