Launching the NSG hubs in Hyderabad, Home Minister P Chidambaram has insisted that the intelligence agencies have indicated a possible terror attack to the country's west coast. However it did not mean that there will be an imminent attack. He also announced that Special Forces of the army will be used to set up anti-terror hubs in Bangalore and Jodhpur.

During the inauguration, Chidambaram said "There is intelligence input (and) as is the practice established recently, we share all inputs immediately with the state governments concerned.”

"There is an input that there could be a threat to the west coast. We have therefore, shared it with (the governments of) Gujarat, Goa and Maharashtra. But that does not mean that there is an imminent attack," he said.

“We are also using Special Forces of the army. Bangalore hub is by the special forces of the army. I am trying to set up a special force of the army in Jodhpur and one in Guwahati using the Border security force", he said.

"Establishing NSG hubs will increase its flexibility and reach and it does not mean that terrorist threat has gone up in the country", he ended.
