Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared his ideas and suggestions on various aspects of policing and security with top brass police and intelligence agencies in Bhubaneswar yesterday. Mr Modi attended the annual 3-day all-India Directors General and Inspectors General of Police Conference being held in Odisha. Prime Minister will attend the security conference for the second consecutive day today.
Yesterday, Mr Modi interacted with the country’s police and intelligence brass on the second day of the closed-door conference. A diverse range of national security issues pertaining to anti-India forces using technology to disrupt India’s growth, conventional challenges such as cross-border terrorism and smuggling, radicalisation activities in the hinterland, left-wing extremism, etc were deliberated upon at length. Mr Modi is learnt to have given his suggestions on various aspects of policing, which will be sent to all the states/Union territories and central agencies as actionable points for implementation in the next one year.
The security brass apprised the Prime Minister of the progress on various security issues discussed during last year’s conference held in Jaipur. In a social media post, Mr Modi said he had a productive first day at the DGP/IGP Conference in Bhubaneswar. Having attended the conference regularly for the past 11 years, Mr Modi has repeatedly asked the chiefs of police to transform their departments into a modern and world class force in line with the country’s improving global profile. This year’s conference are being attended by as many as 200 officers – mostly DGPs, Commissioners of Police, IGs and those of other senior ranks from central forces in Bhubaneswar while an equal number of officers are joining online.
