Amit Shah: Better coordination needed between police, central agencies

New Delhi, November 19

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has appreciated the role played by security forces during the Covid pandemic and lauded sacrifice made by cops in the line of duty.

He was speaking at the 56th conference of DGPs and IGPs which got underway in Lucknow today.

Inaugurating the three-day event, Shah stressed for better coordination between state police forces and central agencies, and urged the delegates for timely implementation of suggestions discussed during the conference.

He emphasised on the need for the police to especially focus on coastal security, leftwing extremism, narcotic trafficking, cyber crime and border area management. He said reforms in police stations and at the beat levels were needed for effective policing.

For the first time, the conference is being organised in the hybrid mode. The DGPs of all states and UTs, and DGs of CAPFs (Central Armed Police Forces) are physically attending the conference. — TNS
