RIP. NatGrid to be merged into IB

May 30, 2014 14:49

The National Intelligence Grid (NatGrid), former home minister Sushilkumar Shinde's pet project that envisaged connecting the databases of intelligence agencies and organisations providing information like tax and bank account details, credit card transactions, visa and immigration records and itineraries of rail and air travel, in order to track terror funds, is being merged with the Intelligence Bureau from July 2014.

Reason? The new government does not want a multiplicity of agencies to track terror funds. Home Minister Rajnath Singh has asked for a cabinet note to be prepared on this merger, it is learnt.
