New Delhi, November 23: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Sunday suggested setting up of a task force to initiate a 100-day plan to address ‘emerging challenges’ in the areas of terrorism, naxalism and insurgency.

"I suggest establishment of a task force which would initiate a 100-day plan to develop an integrated capability to address emerging challenges in areas such as left wing extremism, terrorism and insurgency," Singh said addressing the conference of the country's top police officers in New Delhi.

The Prime Minister said one of the areas in which the task force would look into will be developing a net-centric information command structure that enables both state and central agencies to access and exploit information in a secure manner and well in time.

Singh said the task force could be headed by the National Security Advisor with proper representation from state and central agencies.

"In the period of 100 days, the task force should come up with a road-map regarding the detailed steps to be taken immediately and also subsequent steps to be taken over the next several months so as to translate this vision of an integrated net-centric capability into reality," he said.

The annual two-day Directors General and Inspectors General of Police Conference, organised by Intelligence Bureau is being attended by the chiefs of police from all states and Union Territories, para-military forces and security agencies.
