The efficiency of state and central government itelligence agencies need a thorough revamping. Time and again, incidents happening around us have proved the ineffectiveness of these machinaries.

Above all there would be a focussed attention on the terror menace which otherwise gets diluted due to the jurisdictional approach of states and centre.
