Modi described the conference of police chiefs as “a great forum to share best practices and innovations in this field”.
The 60th edition of the closed-door, off-camera huddle of directors general of police (DGPs) and Inspectors General of Police (IGPs) from across the country at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in Chhattisgarh’s Raipur was inaugurated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday.
Modi, who arrived here on Friday night, joined the deliberations on Saturday.
The conference was also attended by National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval, Intelligence Bureau (IB) chief Tapan Kumar Deka and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Director Praveen Sood, among other police chiefs from central and state forces.
In a post on X, the prime minister said: “The first day of the DGP/IGP Conference in Raipur witnessed extensive deliberations on different aspects of India’s security system. This is a great forum to share best practices and innovations in this field.”
The important meeting comes within weeks of agencies busting a “white-collar” terror module that was behind a car blast near Delhi’s Red Fort that claimed 15 lives on November 10.
The conference, which will conclude on Sunday with the Prime Minister’s address, aims to review the progress made in addressing key policing challenges so far and outline a forward-looking roadmap for building a “Surakshit Bharat”, in alignment with the national vision of “Viksit Bharat”, according to an official statement.
