The National Investigation Agency will be empowered to combat terror.

New Delhi: Challenges posed by Naxals, operationalisation of proposed NSG hubs and the National Investigation Agency are likely to be top in the 100-day Action Plan being prepared by the Home Ministry and to be implemented from June one.

The action plan, prepared following the directive of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, is likely to take care of security threat emanating from Naxal menace and sectarian violence, Home Ministry sources said.

The plan also aims to operationalise the NSG regional hubs in Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Chennai within the next 100 days so that the specialised commando force could be stationed in the four major cities, they said.

The Home Ministry also plans to expedite recruitment process of the NIA in the next 100 days as the agency was yet to take its full shape, the sources said.

Following the Mumbai terror attack, the government had announced that it would set up four NSG hubs and constituted the NIA empowering it to take up all terror-related cases, having inter-state ramifications, for investigations.

The ministry had launched a 100-day Action Plan beginning February 21 and it was "substantially implemented".
