Avoid delay in reporting blast cases to central agencies: MHA

THE Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has sent identical advisories to the states reminding them to oblige by mandatorily reporting to the Central Control Room (CCR) and send request for the National Security Guard (NSG) assistance in connection with all cases of bomb and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) blasts in their respective jurisdictions having national implications.

Sources said that directives have been sent to the states as the MHA has in recent times found certain incidents where states failed to immediately communicate to the CCR about such cases.

According to sources, such time lag in keeping the central agencies in loop 'grossly hampers' post blast investigations.
