SECURITY-PM 3

The Prime Minister said the response to left–wing
extremism must be calibrated to avoid alienating the people,
especially those in tribal areas.

"It must also go hand-in-hand with social and economic
development of areas affected by left–wing extremism, bringing
them into the mainstream of national progress. Tribal
communities should get full benefit of our schemes and
programmes. This is only possible by improving service
delivery in tribal-dominated areas," he said.
Singh said he expected the states to make "fullest
possible use" of the National Investigation Agency so that the
fight against terrorism can be a forceful and a united one.
He said many issues in today's world require a response
that is coordinated not only between the affected states but
also between the Centre and the states.
"Internal security is certainly one such issue, and for
that matter a critical one which affects the pace of our
growth and development," he said.
Singh asked the Chief Ministers to create special
intervention units in their states to enhance the speed and
decisiveness of the quick response teams.
He also suggested development of specialised commando
forces in states, which could be deployed to act as a
deterrent to terrorist designs.
"I would also urge you to make full use of the scheme
formulated by the Central government to assist the special
branches of states in strengthening their capabilities," he
said. MORE PTI ACB
