New Delhi, Jun 16: In a move to ensure coordinated and concerted action against militant financing and other militancy-related activities in Jammu and Kashmir, the Ministry of Home Affairs has constituted a multi-disciplinary Terror Monitoring Group (TMG).
The group, comprising of eight members, has Additional DGP CID of J&K Police as its chairman. It also has IGP of J&K Police, representatives from Intelligence Bureau (IB), National Investigation Agency (NIA), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Central Board of Indirect taxes and Customs (CBIC), Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), as its members.
The TMG has been entrusted with taking coordinated action in all registered cases that relate to militancy, and militancy-related financing and related activities and bring them to a logical conclusion.
The group will also identify all key persons including leaders of the organisation(s) who are involved in supporting militancy in any form and take concerted action against them. It will have to investigate the networks of various channels being used to fund militant and militancy activities and take coordinated action to stop the flow of such funds.
The group will be required to take action against “hardcore sympathisers amongst the government employees, including teachers, who are providing covert or overt support to such activities.”
The group has become very active now and the concerted action by all the agencies will now give a big blow to the financiers of militants in the Valley, official said.
