Stronger security measures a must to take nation to the top, says Shah

“Hard work is needed for that, but the first condition is strengthening our law and order, and internal and border security. No country can develop without internal and border security. For that, the Home Department has made several changes, and now in the Amrit Kaal, it is the time to implement those changes. The Police Science Congress is very important in that regard,” he said.

“I can say with confidence that every person in the country can take a sigh of relief looking at the situation of Jammu & Kashmir after the removal of Article 370… that our Jammu & Kashmir is now part of India forever. Similarly, because of crime reduction in leftist extremist areas, development is reaching villages and individuals. A new era of health, education, and infrastructure is reaching every street and locality. The Narendra Modi government is also successful in connecting the North-East with peace,” he said.

Shah said the six themes selected for discussion during the AIPSC covers all issues on law and order as well as internal and border security. The themes were – policing in the 5G era, narcotics: a game-changing approach, coordination between Police and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFS), National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), internal security and social media challenges, and community policing.
Comparing the Modi government to the previous one, he claimed there were a total of 33,200 violent incidents under the UPA in the three hotspots he had mentioned between 2004 and 2014, while under the NDA there were just 12,358 such incidents.
