Need better coordination on new threats: Amit Shah
Stressing the new security challenges that need to be tackled through "better coordination", Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday directed the "formation of homogenous teams of central and state agencies to develop strategies, implement and monitor them." This came after two days of the National Security Strategies Conference (NSSC) that concluded late Sunday where Shah further instructed the involvement of young police officers in each state to brainstorm on national challenges and devise solutions to address them. He urged that the use of national databases like NATGRID, NIDAAN, iMoT and CBI's fugitive database be inculcated amongst young officers by including them in all training programmes, according to an official statement. Addressing the 8th NSSC, the home minister said the government has resolved numerous issues scattered across states as he emphasised that the next 5-10 years would be very important for the development and security of the country. "The minister exhorted the police and central security agencies to adopt the motto of 'Suraksha, Sajagta and Samanvay' (Security, Alertness and co-ordination)," the statement noted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Senior Living Homes in Dharashiv May Surprise You Senior Living | Search Ads Undo

Amit Shah orders formation of ‘homogenous teams' of central, state agencies at 8th NSSC
Pointing out that India's economy had risen to the fourth position globally, the Union Home Minister (UHM) also observed that India was now a world leader in new and emerging technologies, start-ups, green energy and innovations. Shah's direction was given on Saturday during the concluding address of the two-day Eighth National Security Strategies Conference held in New Delhi, emphasising that India's rising stature would lead to increasing national security challenges in the years to come. 'Union Home Minister stressed that these challenges needed to be tackled through better coordination. He directed the formation of homogeneous teams of Central and State agencies to develop strategies, implement and monitor them,' a statement from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) quoted Shah as saying. New Delhi: Underlining the need for enhanced coordination to address evolving internal security challenges, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has directed the formation of 'homogeneous teams' comprising Central and State agencies. These teams will be tasked with developing strategic plans, ensuring their effective implementation, and closely monitoring progress. He further instructed the involvement of young police officers in each state to brainstorm on national challenges and devise solutions to address them. Shah mentioned that this conference is significant in enabling senior officers to guide young officers, familiarise them with challenges, and show them the path to finding solutions. He urged that the use of national databases, such as National Intelligence Grid (NATGRID), National Integrated Database on Arrested Narco Offenders (NIDAAN), Integrated Monitoring on Terrorism (iMoT), and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)'s fugitive database, be incorporated among young officers by including them in all training programs. To address the challenges facing the nation, the UHM said, 'A reliable ecosystem for real-time data sharing must be established.' Adding that the Modi government has resolved numerous issues scattered across various states, UHM emphasised that the next 5-10 years would be crucial for the country's development and security. Observing that internal security challenges would remain dynamic in view of India's geopolitical neighbourhood, Shah exhorted the state police forces and central security agencies to adopt the motto of 'Suraksha, Sajagta & Samanvay' (Security, Alertness, and Co-ordination). While appreciating the achievements in the Left Wing Extremist, North East, and Jammu and Kashmir theatres, Shah asked the Director Generals of Police (DGPs) to adopt a similar approach for the effective implementation of the three new criminal laws and tackling the challenge of narcotics. He advocated the need for a top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top approach in initiating action against big drug cartels, besides focusing on extradition of narco-offenders. DGPs were directed to make it the prime agenda of the Police for the next three years in the path towards 'Nasha Mukt Bharat'. Pointing out that the Police Station was the focal point of intelligence collection, he called upon the Police leadership to evolve a credible platform for sharing real-time information up to the Police Station level. Emphasising the primary duty of the Police to protect the lives, property, and dignity of citizens, UHM directed each State Police force and central agency to strive towards excellence and nurture a spirit of healthy competition to address internal security challenges. Stressing the need for all-round development in LWE-affected areas, UHM urged the DGPs to coordinate with State Administrations to ensure the implementation of more than 300 central and State development schemes at the grassroots level. Underscoring the importance of securing smaller seaports along our maritime borders, UHM emphasised the capacity building of the State Police to counter infiltration and smuggling activities. He also reviewed the counterterror initiatives and directed that stringent legal action be taken against repeat offenders. This report is auto-generated from ANI news service.

Internal security challenges to remain dynamic due to neighbourhood: Shah
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said the country's internal security challenges would remain dynamic in view of India's geo-political neighbourhood. Delivering the concluding address at the eighth National Security Strategies Conference (NSSC) here, Shah also said that demonstrating strong political will, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again not only reaffirmed the policy of zero tolerance against terrorism, but also presented it before the world in a remarkable manner through Operation Sindoor. "Observing that the internal security challenges would remain dynamic in view of India's geo-political neighbourhood, Shah exhorted the state police forces and Central security agencies to adopt the motto of 'Suraksha, Sajagta and Samanvay' (security, alertness and coordination)," an official statement said. Stating that the Modi government has resolved numerous issues scattered across various states, Shah said, "India is one of the fastest emerging economies, and with that, the challenges before the country are also increasing. We must stay more vigilant and tackle problems with heightened awareness." He also called the NSSC significant in enabling senior officers to guide young officers, familiarise them with challenges, and show them the path to finding solutions. The home minister said the forces of all states and Central investigating agencies should move forward with the goal of becoming the best in the world. To address the challenges facing the nation, a reliable ecosystem for real-time data sharing must be established, he said. Shah also said that all agencies must make security-first approach, habitual alertness, and coordination an integral part of their working methodology. He mentioned that the prime minister's strong resolve and the support of fellow citizens sent a strong message of zero tolerance towards terrorism across the world. Pointing out that India's economy has risen to the fourth position globally, the home minister said India is now a world leader in new and emerging technologies, startups, green energy and innovations.
