The two-day Anti-Terror Conference organized by the National Investigation Agency concluded in New Delhi today with a resolve by the NIA and all Anti-Terror Squads and Counter Terrorism units of all the states to intensify coordinated efforts to counter terrorism threats. The key directions given by Home Minister Amit Shah while inaugurating the Conference yesterday included design of a common training module, and multidimensional use of the various national databases to Investigate, Prosecute, and Prevent crimes. He said that all anti-terrorism agencies must adopt such a ruthless approach so that a new terrorist organization cannot be formed.
 
Delegates at the Conference deliberated on the Home Minister’s directions, which mirrored the ‘zero tolerance’ policy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In the backdrop of the Minister’s call for action, they deliberated upon different issues relating to Dismantling of the Terror Ecosystem in the country and the need to choke all sources of terror financing.
 
Chairing the Concluding session, Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla underlined the need for teamwork and collaborative and concerted efforts by Central and State agencies to try and prevent the establishment of terror ecosystems. He assured full support from the Home Ministry for meeting the needs of the central and state agencies in terms of legislative requirements, financial management, or resource deployment to fight against terrorism.
