During the hour-long meeting, Chidambaram sought assistance from the army to operationalise the hubs in Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and Hyderabad in the first phase, home ministry sources said.
He also discussed provision of trained anti-terrorist forces by the defence forces for cities like Bangalore which will not have such a hub in the first list.
Chidambaram has said that certain cities will be covered by a trained anti-terrorist force provided by defence forces -- for example Bangalore will be covered by the Army.
Indian Army's Parachute Regiment's headquarters is in Bangalore and has seven Special Forces battalions under its command. These SF troops are deployed to carry out actions against terrorists in the North-east and Jammu and Kashmir.
In the course of time, more NSG hubs will be set up in different parts of the country and ultimately there will be a hub in virtually every state capital, the Home Minister has said.
Till then states have been asked to raise and deploy their own anti-terrorist forces and the Centre has promised to offer them all the help.
Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor and NSG Chief J K Dutt were accompanied by their senior officials. Sources said Gen Kapoor spoke of shortage of hands to help in setting up such hubs.

KERALA IS A LAWLESS STATE NOW. ALMOST SIMILAR TO SOMALIA. IF YOU ARE A C P M WORKER YOU CAN BE ANYTHING AND EVEN TERRORIST. THE CPM WILL BE THERE WITH YOU TO PROTECT. THEY NEED POWER BY HOOK OR CROOK. SOONER OR LATER KERALA WILL BE ANOTHER VICTIM OF TERRORIST ATTACK.
A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar. Let me say this as clearly as I can: No matter how sharp a grievance or how deep a hurt, there is no justification for killing innocents.
Today Kerla is achieved the Top No. 1 State in India for Terrorist Training, Fake Currency Trading, Hawala Rackets, Gold

AFTER MUMBAI, IT IS KERALA, WHERE THE GOVT. SHOULD ESTABLISH A HUB OF NSG COMMANDOS. THIS IS SO BECAUSE A LOT OF YOUTHs FROM THE NORTHERN DISTRICTS OF KERALA, ESPECIALLY THOSE FROM MALAPPURAM, HAVE RECENTLY JOINED AND QUALIFIED FROM THE SCHOOL OF TERRORISM RUN BY THEIR MASTERS IN KERALA, BANGALORE AND KASHMIR. MANY SUCH WERE ARRESTED FROM THE JAMMU VALLEY RECENTLY. THEIR JOB BECOMES VERY EASY; THEY CAN DO THE ACTION WITH THEIR PASSPORT (GIVEN WITHOUT ANY POLICE VERIFICATION.(. thanks courtesy of their leader, E.Ahmed, Minister of State for External Affairs). IT IS THEREFORE NECESSARY FOR THE GOVT. TO ESTBLISH ONE NSG CAMP IN KERALA.
