Union home minister Amit Shah on Friday launched a revamped Multi Agency Centre (MAC) and said, “it incorporates futuristic capabilities such as embedded AI/ML techniques to harness the potential of the vast database with MAC and GIS services.” This comes after the intelligence and security failure led to the death of 25 Indian and one Nepalese citizen at Pahalgam last month following which the Indian Armed Forces launched operation Sindoor.
The home minister also laid “the future roadmap by emphasising the need to integrate other significant databases housed with different central agencies in different silos, on this platform for leveraging the advanced data analytics made available with new MAC.” Shah noted that “the new network is expected to elevate the quality of data analytics generated on the MAC network to a higher level, enabling accurate trend analysis, hotspot mapping and timeline analysis to give predictive and operational outcomes.”
The new MAC will go a long way in combating the terror ecosystem having intricate linkages with organised crime, he added. MAC has been in existence since 2001 and the Shah has been actively guiding the technological upgradation of MAC continuously, according to officials.
Housed with the Intelligence Bureau (IB), the new MAC has connected all the intelligence, security, law enforcement and investigative agencies. Executed at a cost of over 500 Crores, the new MAC network has undergone both qualitative and quantitative transformation. The new MAC network spanning the length and breadth of the country, has weaved-in country’s Island territories, insurgency affected areas and mountainous high altitude terrain ensuring last mile connectivity down to the level of district SP’s in the remotest areas with a fast and standalone secure network. according to a statement by the union home ministry.
Shah added that "the recently concluded operation Sindoor is a unique symbol of the firm political will of PM Modi, accurate information of intelligence agencies and the infallible strike capability of our three-armed forces. He said that India is proud of its three-armed forces, Border Security Force (BSF) and all security agencies."
The home minister said that the new MAC will provide a seamless and integrated platform for synergising the efforts of all the agencies in addressing the complex and interconnected national security challenges being faced in today’s environment. He expressed hope that this new network will strengthen the country's efforts to tackle serious threats like terrorism, extremism, organised crime and cyber attacks, the statement noted.
Speaking about the anti-Naxal operations conducted by Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) in Karregattalu Hills (KGH) at Chhattisgarh-Telangana border recently, Shah said that these operations against Naxalites demonstrate the excellent coordination between our security forces.
