Mumbai Mayhem: A Clear Command Structure

FOR THE RECORD
'A Clear Command Structure'
Fallout of 26/11: 'There must be no ambiguity or confusion about who is in-charge; who will have overall authority over the different forces; who will deploy the forces according to the needs of the situation; and who will be held accountable for the success of the operation'>>>>>
P. Chidambaram

36 days into this office, I am more convinced than ever before that we have to set for ourselves two goals:
  • First, to raise the level of preparedness to meet the increasingly sophisticated terrorist threats.
  • Second, to enhance the speed and decisiveness of the response to a terrorist threat or a terrorist attack.

    One of the first tasks that I undertook was to re-establish and empower the Multi Agency Centre created in 2001 to deal with all matters concerning intelligence pertaining to terrorism. As you are aware, beginning January 1, 2009, the Multi Agency Centre has begun to function on a 24x7 basis and is now legally obliged to share intelligence with all other agencies, including agencies of the Governments of the States and Union Territories.
