Amid a strong speculation that Prime Minister in-waiting Narendra Modi might want to create an independent ministry on internal security, Union Home Secretary Anil Goswami on Monday briefed him on the current national security situation.

Mr. Goswami held a half-an-hour meeting with Mr. Modi, during which he apprised him of the situation on the ground vis--vis insurgency and terrorism.

According to MHA sources, the Home Secretary briefed Mr. Modi on internal security dynamics in the nine Maoist-hit States, Jammu and Kashmir and the North-East. Mr. Goswami is also learnt to have given a presentation on counter-terrorism/insurgency initiatives -- both the military and the policy driven measures -- taken under the erstwhile Central government.

Apart from the impending challenges in peace keeping and conflict resolution, issues surrounding Andhra Pradesh bifurcation were also discussed.

The Home Ministry, on instructions from the Cabinet Secretary, has already prepared a report for the next government as part of the process for a smooth transfer of power, highlighting its achievements over the past few years and issues that require immediate attention.

As the Bharatiya Janata Party has always accused the UPA of compromising on internal security, officials expect that priority would be given to this department. The next government may adopt a muscular and hawkish approach to internal security at all levels: from modernisation of intelligence apparatus and intelligence-driven action against insurgent/terror groups to espousing a more rigid stand towards cross-border threats. Many are of the view that the government may also decide to carve a separate internal security ministry from the existing Home Ministry setup, said a senior official.

Union Home Secretary briefs Modi on internal security

Union home secretary Anil Goswami is learnt to have met Narendra Modi at Gujarat Bhawan on Monday to brief the Prime Minister-elect about the immediate issues concerning internal security. Goswami is among the first senior bureaucrats to have met Modi, in what was termed a courtesy call.

Known for giving bureaucrats the freedom and mandate to work instead of retaining them as file pushers, Modi has a clear and tough take on internal security issues, glimpse of which he gave during a number of meetings on internal security he attended as chief minister during the UPA government's tenure.

Getting the whiff of a regime change at the Centre much ahead of the poll results, the home ministry bureaucrats had also tweaked their plans and policies keeping a Modi government in mind. Ministry officials in-charge of various divisions did so when they were told by cabinet secretary Ajit Seth about three months ago to prepare plans for the next government.

The bureaucrats' general view was that work that had taken a backseat during the last phase of the Congress-led UPA II government, especially under home minister Sushilkumar Shinde, should get priority under the new regime. Accordingly, many divisions tweaked their general outplay plans and policies by introducing aspects that would gel with the thinking of the new regime and their own goals or aims.

One of the key divisions, the anti-Naxal division, for example, has put more emphasis on the security approach and enlisted three specific priorities in its plan that can help tackle the Maoists effectively. It has asked for deputing its choice of District Magistrate (DM) and Superintendent of Police (SP) in 20 worst Naxal-affected districts. Second, it wants to have Inspector General (operations) of its choice at the zonal level in Naxal-affected areas and let him or her be under the direct control of the Union home ministry. And finally, it wants 25 additional combat ready battalions (25,000 personnel) of central armed police forces (CAPFs) in addition to the already 72-odd battalions.

Sources said the security-centric approach that had made much headway against the Maoists during Chidambaram's tenure as home minister took a backseat when Shinde replaced him, thus giving Maoists breathing space to regain strength.

"You can say that the ministry is hoping to see more of Chidambaram type, business approach in the new government and has prepared accordingly," said a senior official. The ministry's assertion comes in the light of the recent arrest of Delhi University professor, GN Saibaba, who was being watched constantly by the ministry for a long time.

The other important divisions of the North-East and foreigners have brought in the Bangladeshi nationals issue as priority areas in their respective plans. In the internal security division, the emphasis has been put on reviving anti-terror cells and intelligence gathering systems in a big way.

MURFREESBORO, TN (WSMV) -

Home security systems are meant to help people feel safe in their own houses. But some scam artists are using that sense of protection to their advantage.

The sticker in your window or sign in your front yard from a security company may be an open invitation to thieves.

Brentmeade Subdivision homeowner Dena Crowder says she has door-to-door security alarm system salesmen who keep coming back to her home.

"We said, 'No,' but they continue to talk. So I had to close the door on them," Crowder said.

Crowder said the men travel in packs and have been canvassing the neighborhood.

"There have been three different groups that have come through here for security systems," Crowder said.

She didn't bite on the pitch. She's already learned her lesson on that.

"I have fallen victim before on credit card scams, where people take money out of your account," Crowder said.

But several people in Murfreesboro fell for it after salesmen for a group called AMP Security, out of Utah, misrepresented themselves as Honeywell Security or ADT, according to neighbors.
