Close and effective coordination between intelligence and security agencies at the Centre and the State level is being maintained in order to avert terror incidents in the country.  The Multi-Agency Centre (MAC) has been strengthened and re-organized to enable it to function on a 24x7 basis for real time collation and sharing of intelligence with other Agencies and State Governments.  With a view to enhance the capacity of State forces, the Central Agencies have been organising training programmes for the States forces on intelligence sharing and investigation of terrorism cases.  The many States have raised special forces to deal with terrorism.  Central Armed Police Forces and National Security Guards have also been stationed at different locations to assist the States in dealing with such incidents.
