Strengthening of counter terror capabilities and intelligence apparatus, Maoist violence, police reforms and capacity building will be high on agenda on the CM's meeting being inaugurated by the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh tomorrow in New Delhi.

The central government has already conceded the demand of several non-Congress chief ministers, including ally Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, to hold a special meeting of CMs to exclusively discuss on the l issue of National Counter Terrorism Centre, NCTC on May 5 and so the matter is unlikely to figure prominently at the day-long meet.

The conference will also be attended by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, Odisha's Naveen Patnaik, Bihar's Nitish Kumar and their Gujarat counterpart Narendra Modi who have been vocal in their opposition to the NCTC.

Apart from the nine NDA CMs, Uttar Pradesh's Akhilesh Yadav and Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah would be among those present at the meet that deliberate on how India is being affected due to its troubled neighbourhood and its obvious consequences in the country like cross border terrorism, covert support to insurgents, arms smuggling, circulation of fake Indian currency, inflow of refugees and immigration.

AIR Correspondent reports, the conference, originally scheduled for February 15, had to be postponed for two months due to the recent Assembly elections in five states and Budget Session of Parliament. Active terror infrastructure in Pakistan, growing nexus between the Naxals and anti-India forces both within the country as well as abroad, better intelligence sharing among security forces, Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & System (CCTNS), border management, coastal security and other Centre-State issues will also figure prominently at the meeting where Home Minister P Chidambaram will deliver the opening address.

A separate session on Maoist violence will be held later in the day and will be attended by Chief Ministers of nine Maoist violence affected states.
