CMs conference on internal security tomorrow

A new security architecture and drive against naxals will be high on agenda

PTI | February 6, 2010



A new security architecture outlined by Home Minister P Chidambaram, pro-active action against naxals and increased infiltration attempts from across Indo-Pak border will be high on the agenda of a meeting of chief ministers convened by the centre here tomorrow.

The meeting, to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, will also focus on strengthening of counter terrorism and intelligence capabilities, strengthening the border and coastal security.

The conference assumes importance against the backdrop of the proactive policy being pursued by the government to combat naxalism, increased infiltration attempts from across Indo-Pak border and the success of anti-terror measures in the past six to eight months.

Cross-border terrorism will also be discussed threadbare at the day-long conference organised by the home ministry.
