Officials said that the chiefs of police forces from all states, union territories and other central security agencies are deliberating on various aspects to chalk out a roadmap to counter existing and emerging national security challenges, including LWE, Coastal Security, Narcotics, Cyber Crime and Economic Security.
The participants will also review the progress in implementation of the new Criminal Laws and initiatives and best practices in policing in their respective states.
Earlier, the Home Minister while inaugurating the event on Friday underscored the role of the security establishment in achieving Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ by the year 2047 and becoming the third-largest economy by 2027.
The Home Minister had also emphasised on focusing on emerging security challenges along the Eastern border, immigration and trends in urban policing. He also called for taking initiative towards a zero-tolerance strategy plan and zero tolerance action to implement zero tolerance policy.
Shah further added that under the leadership of PM Modi, India is building its police force as an apparatus capable of both securing the nation against new-age challenges and addressing the root causes of crime and terrorism. He noted that the DG-IG Conference serves as a knowledge-sharing platform to fortify policing in every state through collaboration.
