Dr Singh is likely to discuss measures to be adopted to maintain law and order, with the chief ministers.
Besides, a separate meeting of the chief ministers of seven Naxal-affected states will be held later in the day to specifically discuss the situation arising out of Maoist violence.
The conference will review the information collection system -- both technical and human intelligence -- its proper sharing and necessary action, modernisation of police forces, procurement of arms and ammunitions, filling up of vacancies besides providing training to security forces.
