New Delhi : The Centre’s ambitious Rs 2,000-crore project to bring all 16,000 police stations in the country under a single network to counter terror challenges will become operational by 2011-12.
“We are working on Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS). That will link each of the 16,000 police station in India so that any of the police stations can contact any other police station for any information,” a Home Ministry official said.
The states have appointed nodal officers for the project’s early completion and all of them have signed MoUs with the Centre for the purpose.
“Once the CCTNS is completed, it will mark a quantum jump in country’s ability to counter various challenges to internal security, particularly terror threats,” the official said.
