primarily the responsibility of the State Governments to take action to maintain law and order. However,
Article 355 of the Constitution enjoins the Central Government to protect every State against external
aggression and internal disturbance. In pursuance of these obligations, the Central Government continuously
monitors and reviews internal security situation in the country. Various mechanisms and fora have been
established for regular exchange of information, intelligence and so also views on internal security
issues.

Grants of the Ministry of Home Affairs. However, to supplement the efforts of the State Governments
