NEW DELHI: Union home minister Amit Shah on Friday inaugurated the two-day National Security Strategies Conference , where the police brass, domain experts and young police officers working at the cutting edge-level are joining heads to discuss the major challenges to national security and explore solutions.
Shah directed the participants -- who include the top police leadership of states, Union territories (UTs), Central armed police forces (CAPFs) and Central police organisations (CPOs) -- to undertake dedicated measures to bring back fugitives involved in terrorist and smuggling activities with enhanced coordination between the Central and state law enforcement agencies, besides recalibrating the approach towards disrupting domestic nodes of the terror-criminal nexus.
The ministry of home affairs (MHA) was asked to set up a forum with stakeholders across the spectrum, to come up with solutions to counter the use of encrypted communication by terror networks. Reviewing terror financing mechanisms, agencies were directed to unearth terror modules by analysing inputs pertaining to financial irregularities. MHA was also asked to ensure that only indigenous technology was used by police organisations.
Shah will address the conference, being held in a hybrid format, on Saturday. On Friday, prior to inaugurating the meet, he laid a wreath at the Martyrs column and paid homage to the police personnel who had made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty.
Around 800 officers from across the country participated in the deliberations on Friday, alongside senior officers like the Union home secretary, deputy NSA, heads of CAPFs and CPOs, and state/UT DGPs. Young police officers and domain experts joined the conference virtually. The idea of a National Security Strategies Conference was conceived by PM during the 2016 DGPs/IGPs conference with the objective of finding solutions to major national security challenges through discussions amongst a unique mix of senior police leadership.
