The Home Ministry has already ordered strengthening of the Coastal Security Scheme under which the nine state governments and four union territories along India's coast were to have set up coastal police stations, check posts, outposts and barracks with Central assistance. Since the scheme was implemented in 2006, 55 of the sanctioned 73 police stations have been made operational. The Home Ministry on Friday suggested that more police stations could be set up. The Centre is also likely to call a meeting of the coastal states to discuss this aspect very soon.
