Officials of the National Security Guard (NSG) which plans to set up a hub in West Bengal checked out land offered to them by the State's Land and Land Reforms department at Dankuni in the state's Hooghly district.
State Home Secretary Samar Ghosh said that although the officials liked the land, they found the price too high. He said that the NSG has said that they need 600 acres of contiguous land at a moderate price and at a location which is easily accessible.
They will be shown the land that they had seen earlier at Barackpore in the North 24 Parganas district on the city's northern fringes.
The decision to set up such hubs across the country was taken after the 26/11 attacks.
