Home Minister Rajnath Singh has said that there was a need to empower the National Investigation Agency, NIA. Speaking at the raising day function of NIA in New Delhi today, Mr Singh said infrastructure must be approved and technology also should be upgraded.

The Home minister said terrorism was not only a challenge to the country, but also a global one. Delivering a key note address on the occasion, Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra said there is need for a separate cadre, National Security Administrative Services in the country.

Mr Vohra said, there is also a need to have standard operating norms that define role of state police, special forces and Army in dealing with terror attacks. Mr Vohra said, he strongly holds that the Indo-Pak international border is not well-guarded. He said, the Border Security Force in its current strength is not enough for guarding the International Border.
