India building its security capacity to deal with multiple internal security challenges
Kolkata, September 21, 2011 (PPI): India is building its capacity "brick-by-brick" to deal with the multiple internal security challenges facing it, Home Minister P Chidambaram said Wednesday, Press Trust of India PTI reported.
"In no other time has India faced multiple security challenges. We face infiltration in J&K, Maoist and Naxalite problems in central India, several insurgent and separatist groups in Northeast and threat of terror from a number of groups," he told a special session of Bharat Chamber of Commerce here. The government was building its capacity to tackle challenges, he said, adding, "Not a day passes when we are not adding a brick to India's internal security capacity. But it will take time."
"We have to expand national (intelligence grid), IB, CBI, NIA and RAW. Hopefully we will create National Counter-Terrorism Centre (NCTC). All this will require fine leaders to be carefully chosen and trained." Chidambaram said there were also problems of training institutes, trainers, housing, barracks, money for buying equipment, uniforms. "In every aspect of policing, no matter how over ambitious we are in terms of recruiting officers, buying equipment, providing training institutions and trainers, there are serious limits to capacity building,"
