The government of Jammu and Kashmir has recently announced the creation of a new investigating agency, the State Investigation Agency (SIA).

The government has reasoned that the new body has been created in order to swiftly probe and prosecute militancy cases.

Presently, The National Investigation Agency (NIA), India's counter-terrorist task force, plays an active role in J&K.

The NIA has its office in Jammu from where it has been operating, including probing militancy cases in the region.

Some obvious questions have been raised as to why did the government then feel the need to create a local investigating agency in the region.

Under NIA Act Section 22 (2), there is a provision that state governments can also have their state investigating agencies.
