Union Home Minister Amit Shah sounded rather confident while inaugurating the 60th DGP/IGP conference in Raipur on Friday. He started his speech on a positive note, saying the country would be completely free from the problem of Naxalism before the next conference. He urged the security machinery to launch a frontal attack on narcotics and organised crime. While exhorting the country’s top police officers attending the conference, Shah urged them to start a 360-degree offensive against them.
He was speaking on the first day of the DGP/IGP conference, which is being organised for the first time in Chhattisgarh’s capital city, Raipur. The conference is being attended by top police officers from across the country.
According to Shah, Naxalism, Northeast, and Jammu & Kashmir had been bleeding India for the past 40 years, but Modi government has provided their permanent solutions.
He emphasised three key points—accuracy of intelligence, clarity of objectives, and synergy in action—to deliver a strong blow to radicalisation, extremism, and narcotics.
Besides, Shah stressed the need to take on drug traffickers and criminals by creating such a system that they are not able to gain even an inch of space in this country. He asked the state police chiefs to work together with the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and launch a stringent crackdown on narcotics syndicates operating at the state, national, and international levels, and to put their kingpins behind bars.
The conference will have detailed deliberations on key security issues, such as Left-wing extremism, counter-terrorism, disaster management, women’s safety, and the use of forensic science and artificial intelligence in policing.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who arrived in Raipur on Friday night, will be attending the conference on Nov 29 and 30.
