The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has prepared a template for interrogation of the suspects of terror funding and it has been circulated to the authorities concerned in all states and union territories.

"The template will help in properly examining a suspect which may lead to tracing of sources of terror funding," Minister of State for Home Jitendra Singh said in reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha.

In reply to another question by Parshottam Rupala, Defence Minister A K Antony ruled out setting up of a Coast Guard station at Hazira, pointing out that a coastal marine police station has been already set up at Hazira and one approved for establishment at Dahej to function under hub and scope concept.

Rupala had sought the Coast Guard station on the ground of security threats to Hazira, the largest industrial hub in the country, because it is located very near to the sea border of Pakistan.

Antony said the entire area is kept under suveillance by deploying both Indian Coast and Marine Police while air assets at Daman located 40 km south of Hazira are also available for pressing into action at short notice.
