Conference of Directors General of Police of Southern States(press)
Thiruvananthapuram: Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan on Tuesday said that the police departments in south Indian States, which faced almost similar internal security challenges in varying degrees, should create a highly secured web site for sharing intelligence in real time on criminals, Left extremists, overseas militants and home-grown religious radical groups.
Inaugurating a conference of the chiefs of the police departments of Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu here, Mr. Balakrishnan said access to the site should be restricted to select officers.
The delegates will discuss chiefly the activities of Left wing extremist groups, with special reference to the activities of the CPI (Maoist). The meeting will also deliberate on the current status and activities of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and pro-LTTE organisations in South India. The issues of Sri Lankan fishermen, including their arrests in the Indian waters, will also be discussed. The meeting will devise a strategy for joint response in the event of a terror strike.
Mr. Balakrishnan said the intelligence departments of the neighbouring States should interact on a daily basis. Intelligence officers should develop personal contact with their counterparts in other States. They should meet at least once in two months for sharing and analysing intelligence.
Senior law and order officers of the neighbouring districts of the neighbouring States should conduct ‘border meetings’ frequently. The police departments should designate a sufficiently senior officer as inter-State police liaison officer. He called for coordinated action against crime syndicates, chiefly smugglers, traffickers of women and children, and counterfeiters of Indian currency and passports.
Kerala Home Secretary K. Jayakumar said extremist infiltration of the local population was one of the serious threats to internal security.
Director-General of Police, Kerala, Jacob Punnoose said all south Indian States were exposed to threat from non-State actors and extremist elements operating from across the sea.
Tamil Nadu DGP K.P. Jain; Karnataka DGP Ajay Kumar Singh; Additional Director-General of Police, Intelligence, Dr. Siby Mathew; Inspector-General of Police, Intelligence, K. Padmakumar; Inspector-General of Police, Crime Branch, R. Sreelekha; and senior officers from Karnataka and Tamil Nadu were present.

KOLLAM: Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram has said a coastal police station will be sanctioned for Malappuram district soon.
Inaugurating the State’s first coastal police station at Neendakara, near here, on Monday, he said that there was no reason why Malappuram district should be left out. Malappuram’s exclusion was brought to Mr. Chidambaram’s attention by Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan.
In his presidential address, Mr. Balakrishnan said that the State government was taking several steps to safeguard internal security. The community policing system already implemented in 20 police stations would be extended to another 20 police stations this year. The system has brought down criminal activities in Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram cities.
The coastal police stations and other police stations having coastal areas under their jurisdiction would take care of internal security with the cooperation of the fisher folk. Identity cards would be issued to fishermen soon.
Addressing the gathering, Director-General of Police Jacob Punnoose said the Kerala Police were for the first time acquiring marine capability.
