"The terrorists and organized criminals have developed overt and covert technologies including Information Communication Technology. This has made the job of law and order professionals far more challenging than ever before," Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram said in the national capital.

The Home Minister also said that "the sheer magnitude of crime in a federal polity of our geographical size makes this task a really challenging one".  

"Today, we are fighting our battles on individual pitches. We need to connect, coordinate and supplement our efforts both at micro and macro levels," he added.

During the Mumbai terror attacks on November 26, 2008, the 10 Pakistani militants had used sophisticated communication gadgets like satellite phones to talk to their handlers.
