The meeting comes just two days after the deadly attack by Maoists which left 16 security personnel dead in Chhattisgarh.

Various issues including coordination among the police in the three states, sharing of information about Maoists and other criminals and poor telecommunication network in some remote areas came up for discussion in the meeting today, the sources said.
