Technology for effective policing, internal security, and cross-border terrorism to top the agenda
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold a review meeting of Directors General of Police (DGPs) of all states between January 20-22. The three-day meeting would be presided over by PM Modi at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) Pusa campus.
The focus of the meeting will likely be on measures to curb threats emanating from cross-border terrorism and arms smuggling, improve internal security, ensure greater coordination between Centre and state police forces, as well as modernize the forces through greater usage of technology.
The meeting is also likely to discuss measures for combating extremism in Jammu and Kashmir, terrorist outfits in the northeast, and curbing Left-Wing Extremism, highly-placed sources said.
DGPs of all the states are expected to be present in the meeting, sources said, where top police officials are likely to make presentations before the Prime Minister on the law and order situations prevailing in their respective states.
Meetings with the DGPs come three months after the Prime Minister had virtually addressed a ‘chintan shivir‘ of state Home Secretaries and Directors Generals of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and Central Police Organisations (CPOs), which was held between October 27 and 28, 2022 at Haryana’s Surajkund.
In that meeting, issues like the modernization of police forces, cybercrime management, increased use of IT in the criminal justice system, coastal security, and land border management were discussed.
