He stated that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, the country enacted many new laws, increased coordination with states, increased budgetary allocation, and made best use of technology.
Shah added that since becoming Prime Minister, Modi Ji has not only given a boost to the country’s internal security, but has also strengthened the country’s response mechanism to challenges.
He stated that the National Automatic Fingerprint Identification System was developed for the first time in the country.
He also said that catching a consignment is not enough; it is important to completely up root the drug network and get to the bottom of its source.
The Home Minister stated that the Central Government is, for the first time, creating a database of various types of crimes using a scientific approach.
He emphasised the importance of utilising 5G technology to strengthen the security system.
Shah emphasised that the basic principle of a modern intelligence agency should not be ‘Need to Know,’ but ‘Need to Share’ and ‘Duty to Share,’ because success is impossible unless the approach changes.
Discussions also held at the conference about counter-terrorism and counter-radicalization, the challenges of Maoist overground and front organisations, crypto currency, counter-drone technology, cyber and social media surveillance, demographic changes and growing radicalization in border areas, and drug trafficking.
