The government said that it will provide identity cards to all fishermen in the country. Talking to reporters outside parliament, Minister of State for Home Ajay Maken said I-cards will be given to fishermen in 3,031 villages in the eight coastal areas in the country. He was responding to queries about the government's preparedness following the 26/11 terror strikes in Mumbai. He also added that fishing boats will also be given I-cards as a security measure. Referring to NSG hubs, Mr. Maken said after creating them in four Metros, steps are being taken to create two more regional centres. Regarding other measures, he said, state governments have been told to create quick response teams to tackle emergency like situation, apart from modernising the police forces.<br/>
