New Delhi, Sep 29 (IANS): In a boost for the National Investigation Agency (NIA), the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has sanctioned three additional branches for the anti-terror probe agency in Manipur, Jharkhand and Tamil Nadu, an official said on Monday.

An NIA spokesperson here said that MHA has sanctioned three additional branches for NIA located at Imphal, Chennai and Ranchi as this will help in ensuring a quick response to any emergent situation in the states concerned by the agency.

The three more offices in three states will strengthen NIA's capability in the investigation of terrorism-related cases and other national security-related matters, and also facilitate timely collection of crucial information and evidence related to such offences, the spokesperson said.

    It should open more branches in Kerala and one in Mangalore too. Only when they control the hardline, terrorist sympathizers, normal Indians like me can roam around freely, without anyone pointing fingers at me.
