Home Minister Amit Shah today said that Central and State agencies have succeeded in firmly curbing all forms of terrorism in the country in the last nine years. Inaugurating a two-day anti-terror conference organized by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in New Delhi, Mr. Shah said Model Anti-terrorism Structure should be established under the purview of NIA. He said the hierarchy, structure, and SoPs of Investigation of all anti-terrorism agencies in all states should be made uniform for better coordination between central and state agencies.
 
The Home Minister emphasized that all anti-terrorism agencies must adopt such a ruthless approach so that a new terrorist organization cannot be formed. He said that the task of NIA, Anti Terrorism Squad, and Special Task Force should not be limited to investigation but they should also think out of the box and take innovative measures to counter the terrorism. He added that the fight against terrorism requires collaboration from the global level to the grassroots.
 
Mr Shah pointed out that the Narendra Modi government has taken a tough stand on all the challenges like crypto, hawala, terror-funding, organized crime syndicates, and narco-terror links. He said this has yielded good results, but a lot more is to be done.
