NEW DELHI: Home minister Amit Shah on Friday stressed on the need for the country’s security and law enforcement agencies to identify and tackle emerging national security challenges such as narcotics, rogue drones and online frauds “before they turn into major challenges”.
In his concluding remarks at the two-day national security strategies conference – attended by senior police leadership, domain experts and young officers working at the cutting-edge level – Shah appealed to the state DGPs to work towards realising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a ‘prosperous, strong and developed India by 2047’. He proposed a detailed strategy to augment counter-terrorism efforts through cooperation with the international agencies, enhanced capacity to choke terror finances, and seamless coordination between the National Investigation Agency and states’ anti-terrorism squads (ATS) on terror investigations.
While expressing satisfaction at the “substantial progress” in solving legacy national security concerns such as terrorism in J&K, Left-wing extremism and northeast insurgency, the home ministry particularly cautioned the states that had recently achieved success in freeing areas of armed Left-wing extremist formations, to maintain vigilance.
On the implementation of the three new criminal laws, Shah urged the state police chiefs to ensure that the constitutional rights of citizens are protected and speedy justice delivered to victims. He said the transformative impact of the new laws can only be achieved by a change in mindset, adoption of technology and seamless coordination.
The home minister appealed to the DGPs to adopt a multi-dimensional approach and employ data analytics and modern techniques to strengthen the internal security architecture. He urged them to ensure utilisation of databases being maintained by central agencies, at the cutting edge level.
Calling upon the DGPs to constitute teams of young officers to ensure the implementation of the new criminal justice laws in letter and spirit, Shah also directly appealed to the young officers to apply their mind to finding strategic solutions to combat the entire gamut of fraudulent financial transactions ranging from crypto to hawala.
