By NNN-PTI,

Shillong, India : Jehadi elements are getting logistical support from home-grown terrorist organisations in the Northeast and the army is taking steps to revamp the entire security system in the region to deal with threats in future, a senior Army official said.

“Home-grown terrorist organisations active in the Northeast are aiding jehadi elements with logistical support and to break the backbone of this destructive force, the nexus has to be broken,” GOC of Army’s 101 Area Maj Gen K S Sethi told reporters here on Saturday night.

Denying any security lapse in Assam, Maj Gen Sethi said security forces were taking necessary actions to avert any such attempts in Meghalaya.

Dismissing reports that Meghalaya could be a target, he said, “The entire security apparatus in the region is undergoing a revamp to deal with any such threats in future.”

The Army official also called for strengthening of various security agencies, especially the intelligence wings.
