In two of the states, Manipur and Assam, current levels of violence give us cause for concern," he told a conference of Directors General and Inspectors General of police organised by Intelligence Bureau. The Prime Minister said extortion and intimidation have become a menace across most of the states in the region. "It should be possible, I believe, to bring about a substantial improvement in the situation if there can be better security management," he said.
