The Ram Pradhan Commission which probed the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks has found that the intelligence alerts provided by Central agencies were treated casually and mechanically forwarded to operational units by the DGP office, ATS and the Home Department. The Commission's report, which was tabled in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly on Monday, said the intelligence alerts were forwarded by the DGP office, sometimes with a semi-official letter. It also noted that there was a total confusion in the processing of intelligence alert at the state government level. The Commission found that Principal Secretary, normally an IPS officer was performing merely a secretarial work of handling paper work. It was for the top level officers to ensure that they are posted with informations and not just blame the working of a desk officer for not briefing the top officer.
