ew Delhi, Sep 13 (PTI) The Union Home Ministry has given the much-awaited nod for the setting up of a separate intelligence network for the CRPF to deal with Naxalism and insurgency problems.
Home Ministry sources said that in an order dated September 1, the MHA has given the go-ahead for setting up the intelligence network in all the battalions of the largest paramilitary force in the country, a proposal which has been pending with the Ministry for the last few years.
