New Delhi: Keeping up its attack on rooting out terrorism, Home Minister Amit Shah proposed a detailed strategy to augment counter-terrorism efforts, including cooperation with international agencies and enhance capacities to prevent terror financing.
Speaking at the concluding session of the two-day Conference held from September 13, Shah emphasised the need for increased cooperation and coordination between National Investigation Agency (NIA) and State Anti-Terrorist Squads (ATSs) to strengthen the counter-terrorism architecture.
The Minister expressed satisfaction on success in anti-Maoist efforts while cautioning the States which had recently achieved success in freeing areas of armed formations to maintain vigilance.
Shah appealed to state DGsP to work towards achieving the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a prosperous, strong and developed India by year 2047. In this context, Shah underscored that substantial progress had been achieved in solving legacy national security concerns such as Jammu & Kashmir, Left Wing Extremism (LWE) and North-East. It was now incumbent to identify emerging national security challenges, including narcotics, rogue drones and online fraud and tackle them before they became major challenges.
In the context of the implementation of the three new Criminal Laws, the Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation urged DGsP to protect the constitutional rights of citizens and ensure speedy and timely justice for victims. He emphasised that the transformative impact of the new criminal laws could be achieved only through a change in mindset, adoption of technology and seamless coordination.
Home Minister Shah directed DGsP to constitute teams of young police officers to ensure the implementation of the new criminal laws in letter and spirit.
Shah exhorted the young police officers to apply their mind for strategic solutions to combat the entire gamut of fraudulent financial transactions ranging from crypto to hawala.
The Home Minister called upon all DGsP to strengthen the internal security architecture by embracing a multi-dimensional approach, data analytics and new techniques. In this context, Home Minister urged DGsP to ensure utilisation by the cutting-edge level of databases being maintained by central agencies.
Shah inaugurated a two-day National Security Strategies Conference on September 13, to chalk out solutions to emerging national security challenges through discussions with the States’ top police leadership, the Central Armed Police Forces, and intelligence agencies.
The conference brings together a “unique mix of senior police leadership managing national security challenges, young police officers working at the cutting-edge level, and domain experts in specialised fields”, according to a statement from the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Over 750 officers from across the country took part in the conference, which was held in a hybrid format combining physical and virtual modes.
Shah also launched a dashboard developed by the National Crime Records Bureau in order to implement the decisions taken during the annual conference for Directors and Inspectors General of Police, which was chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
