The Centre is likely to call a meeting of chief ministers on April 16 for discussion on the functioning of the proposed National Counter Terrorism Centre, a top official said here on Friday.
"Centre would likely convene a meeting of chief ministers on April 16 to discuss about functioning of the matters of setting up the NCTC", Tripura chief secretary S.K.Panda told reporters.
Earlier, Chief Minister Manik Sarkar had joined the bandwagon of CMs who were opposing the NCTC order issued by the home ministry and wrote to the prime minister saying the 'unilateral move' would only create misunderstanding.
Union Home Secretary R.K.Singh held a meeting of chief secretaries and director generals of diferent states on March 12 in New Delhi and discussed the setting up of the NCTC at which the Tripura Chief Secretary was also present.
"Final decision on the NCTC would be taken at the proposed meeting of chief ministers", Panda said quoting Singh.
