Centre to figure in CMs' meet on security architecture

A new internal security architecture and pro-active action against Naxals will be high on the agenda of a meeting of chief ministers convened by the Centre on February 7. <br/><br/>At the meeting to be presided by Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, the chief ministers will also be briefed and their views will be taken on the National Counter Terrorism Centre which is expected to be raised by the end of this year. Cross-border terrorism will also be discussed thread bare at the day-long conference organised by the Home Ministry. <br/><br/>Activities of Pakistan-based terror outfits and situation in Jammu and Kashmir as well as the Northeast will also come under the scanner at the meeting. <br/><br/>Other issues to come up at the meeting are measures to be adopted to maintain law and order, coastal security, strengthening of intelligence, augmenting police forces and preparedness of Quick Reaction Teams. <br/><br/>A separate meeting of chief ministers of Naxal affected states is likely to be held later in the day to discuss the situation arising out of Maoist violence.
