NEW DELHI: Home minister Amit Shah , who inaugurated the new multi-agency centre (MAC) — the country’s foremost intelligence fusion centre — here on Friday, said ‘ Operation Sindoor ’ was a unique culmination of the “firm political will of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, pinpointed information generated by our intelligence agencies and the infallible strike capability of the three armed forces”.
“India is proud of its three armed forces, BSF and all the security agencies,” Shah said while unveiling the upgraded MAC that connects all the intelligence, security, law enforcement and investigative agencies, at North Block here.
He underlined that the new MAC will provide a seamless and integrated platform for the agencies to coordinate their efforts towards addressing complex and interconnected national security challenges . He hoped that the state-of-the-art MAC network would tackle internal security challenges like terrorism, extremism, organised crime and cyber attacks.
Shah, while addressing the event, referred to the 21-day anti-Naxal operation conducted recently by the forces at Karreguttalu Hills on the Chhattisgarh-Telangana border, saying that it displayed exemplary coordination between the intelligence agencies and security forces. "There is very good coordination in the process and thinking of our intelligence agencies and the three armed forces,” he noted.
The home minister lauded the new MAC network, which has undergone a hardware and software upgrade in record time to acquire futuristic capabilities such as embedded artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques. This will help to harness the potential of the vast database with MAC and geographic information system (GIS) services.
Unveiling the future roadmap for the security establishment, Shah on Friday emphasised upon the need to integrate other significant databases housed with different central agencies in different silos, onto one platform, for leveraging advanced data analytics. The system, Shah underlined, will elevate the quality of data analytics generated on MAC network, enabling accurate trend analysis, hotspot mapping and timeline analysis to give predictive and operational outcomes. “The new MAC will go a long way in combating the terror ecosystem having intricate linkages with organised crime,” he said.
Shah has been actively guiding the technological upgradation of MAC, which was set up in 2001. Housed with the Intelligence Bureau, the new MAC follows qualitative and quantitative transformation at a cost of over Rs 500 crore. It has weaved in the country’s island territories, insurgency-affected areas and high-altitude terrain, while ensuring last-mile connectivity down to the district level, with a fast and standalone secure network.
