New Delhi:
Former president A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Wednesday said there is a need
to assimilate better technology and cutting edge systems in all
agencies involved with security of the nation to prevent a
biological attack.
"If this trend of terrorism is allowed to continue, it is possible
to even see terrorists attempting biological attacks on
consumables like water and milk, which are sourced from multiple
points, stored and processed in a central location and distributed
to multiple regions simultaneously," said Kalam, while delivering
the Field Marshal K.M. Cariappa Memorial Lecture here.
"To match and counter such threats, there is a need of
assimilation of better technology and cutting edge systems in all
agencies involved with security of the nation. As defence experts,
all of you may like to study, research and deploy the counter
terrorism technologies of the future in all its training," the
former president said.
He said the role of Armed Forces is beyond being confined to
merely war scenarios.
"With its skilled human resources, technological expertise and the
spirit of national service, the Armed Forces has contributed (to
the nation) even in time of peace," Kalam said.
