New Delhi : From strengthening intelligence apparatus to most importantly ensuring coordination among the security agencies to prevent the nightmare of another Mumbai- type attack, Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram has made a seamless transition from Finance Ministry in the last one year.
Sixty-four-year old Chidambaram, who assumed charge of the Home Ministry on December one reluctantly — as he had himself said — after Shivraj’s Patil’s resignation in the wake of the November 26 attacks, had invested a lot of his time and efforts to overhaul the security establishment.
He made decision-making process fast, transparent and accountable.
The image of a tough taskmaster helped him aptly in the ministry where critics felt approach was lackadaisical under previous incumbents during whose tenure there were a number of attacks, capped by the Mumbai violence.
