Complete crime, criminal tracking network system speedily: HM

MEET-CHIDAMBARAM

New Delhi, Sep 16 (PTI) Indian Home Minister P Chidambaram
Wednesday wanted speedy completion of an ambitious project to
increase coordination among various state police forces to
counter terror challenges.

Once the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems
(CCTNS) is complete, it will mark a quantum jump in country's
ability to counter various challenges to internal security,
particularly terror threats, he said.
Chidambaram was addressing the concluding session of a
three-day annual conference here of Directors General and
Inspectors General of Police organised by the Intelligence
Bureau.
A sum of Rs 89 crore has been allotted to the states under
the CCTNS for networking of all crime-related data amongst all
police stations.
In his inaugural address on Monday, the Home Minister had
suggested that the conference must mark the beginning of a
process of reinventing the security system in the country.
"...It is the neglect of tried and tested methods that has
led us to a situation where we seemed unequal to challenges
that face the internal security of the country," he had
observed.
The National Crime Records Bureau, which has been working
on the project, gave a presentation on the need to reinvent
the security system by learning from past mistakes and
adopting new technology. (MORE) PTI SKL
