NSG explosive detection dog Donny has received the Chief of Army Staff Commendation Card on Independence Day 2026 for his technical aptitude, reliability and operational performance. Donny played a key role in post-blast RSP operations following the Red Fort blast in New Delhi in November 2025. On November 10 and 11, he was deployed to sanitise the VBIED blast site, where he conclusively confirmed the presence of explosives. On November 12, Donny was sent to Khandawali in Faridabad to sanitise a vehicle suspected of transporting explosives linked to the blast. He again detected and confirmed explosives, with the NSG highlighting his confirmations as evidence of his value in critical security missions. (PC: X)
