New Delhi: Home Minister P Chidambaram on Tuesday got a compliment from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for the
efforts being taken to improve the internal security situation
in the country.
Addressing the Directors General and Inspector Generals
of Police, Singh said during the past year "we have achieved
some major successes" with regard to terrorism.
"I would like to compliment the Home Minister and his team
for the efforts made in the last many months to improve our
internal security," Singh said.
He said many terrorist modules have been dismantled and
arrests of several important terrorists have taken place.
"It is on account of your alertness that we have not had
a serious terrorist attack since November last year," he said
in his address.
He also complimented the Police, Intelligence Agencies and
the Security Forces for their contribution to the free and
fair conduct of the recent General Elections.
"The relative peace that prevailed both during and before

26/11 terror attack.
