PM for 2 sets of teams for intel gathering

To ensure proper implementation of projects and ideas related to security measures and intelligence gathering floated by the Central Government and top officers,  Prime Minister Narendra Modi has directed the security forces, agencies and State police heads to form two set of teams to initiate action on ground.

The Prime Minister Office has noticed that many projects and ideas discussed could not materialise because of improper ways and lack of coordination between agencies to implement it. 

This has also annoyed  Modi , who has suggested that proper ways should be detected to implement those projects.

Sources said that Prime Minister Office (PMO) has issued directions to Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Intelligence Bureau (IB), all the Director Generals of Police of States and union territories, Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs)and Central Police Organisations (CPOs) to “initiate action in a time-bound manner and communicate the action taken in this regard”.

Sources said that working groups comprising  five to seven officers should be established to deliberate on the issues raised during the meetings with the Central Government and “to develop expertise in a particular field in an institutionalised manner”. “These groups should work through the year by holding regular meetings,” source said.

Sources further stated that the States should also form a group of officers in the age group of 40 and 45 years as to ensure that the expertise or project developed in an institutionalised manner percolate to the lower level officials. These group should also train future leaders of police. These groups should solely focus on action on the ground.

The Prime Minister  has also directed the police, investigating, security and intelligence establishments not to work in isolation. “Various agencies and the State police organisation should notwork in silos and there should be prompt sharing of knowledge, information and technology,” sources said that Prime Minister has strictly issued these direction. “The mutual coordination among the agencies should be a matter of commitment rather than a mere formal mechanism,” sources further pointed out.

It has been found at many instances there were lack of coordination between forces wherein both many remained deprived of good works carried out by other. Like the online model adopted by the Uttar Pradesh police force on women security has not been implemented by other police forces and also lack of coordination between State police forces, Central Armed Police Forces in naxal areas and intelligence agency leading to huge casualties in Chhattisgarh and other States.

It has been also founded that proper coordination between all the security and intelligence agencies has resulted in locating many terrorists holed up in Jammu and Kashmir.
