In order to optimize intelligence flow and coordination between multifarious agencies at the Centre and in the States in the field of counter-terrorism and counter- intelligence, a Multi-Agency Centre (MAC) and Joint Task Force on Intelligence (JTFI) have been created in the Intelligence Bureau at Delhi, supported by Subsidiary Multi-Agency Centers (SMACs) at almost all State capitals. Steps have also been taken to strengthen counter-intelligence apparatus in the Intelligence Bureau.
Further, the States have been asked to revamp the Special Branches by way of filling up of vacancies; posting of competent officers in Special Branches; mandatory tenure preferably of 5 years for personnel in Special Branches and linkage of this requirement with promotion; system of incentives/disincentives; dedicated staff for intelligence work right up to the police stations level and re-activating beat constable system; making available modern equipment and gadgets for interception; special training for personnel posted in Special Branches and earmarking of up to 5% of their annual allocations under the Scheme for Modernization of State Police Forces for strengthening of Special Branches.
This was stated in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Home Affairs, Shri Sriprakash Jaiswal. |
