SHAFAQNA PAKISTAN (Shia News Agency)
A meeting of the National Counter Terrorism Authority (Nacta) is under way on Wednesday at the Prime Minister’s House in Islamabad.
The meeting, which is being chaired by Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, is reviewing measures adopted for countering terrorism in the country.
Senior representatives from law enforcement and intelligence agencies are attending the meeting.
During the meeting, Nisar said Nacta has been made fully operational and directed all concerned departments for coordinated and prompt intelligence sharing with Nacta to foil terrorist and subversive activities across the country.
The minister also assured to provide all resources for hurdle-free working of the authority.
Last week, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif directed that Nacta be made functional with immediate effect, following which a meeting was summoned today.
The anti-terror body has largely remained dormant resulting in an absence of coordination among various intelligence and law-enforcement agencies which is critical to monitoring activities of extremist groups operating in different parts of the country.
