Prime Minister Narendra Modi is participating in the annual Conference of Director Generals of Police (DGP) and Inspector Generals of Police (IGP) in Lucknow for the second day today. Mr Modi attended all sessions of the conference yesterday.
In a tweet, Prime Minister had termed the conference as an important forum in which extensive deliberations are taking place on modernisation of Indian police set-up.
The Conference was inaugurated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday.
The Conference is being held in hybrid format. DGP of States and Union Territories and Heads of Central Armed Police Forces and Central Police Organizations are attending the Conference physically at the venue in Lucknow, while the remaining invitees are participating virtually from 37 different locations at IB and SIB Headquarters.
The conference is discussing a wide range of issues including Cyber Crime, Data Governance, Counter-Terrorism Challenges, Left Wing Extremism, Emerging Trends in Narcotics Trafficking, Prison Reforms among others. AIR correspondent reports, Since 2014, the Prime Minister has taken a keen interest in the DGP conference.
Unlike the symbolic presence earlier, he makes it a point to attend all sessions of the conference and encourages free and informal discussions that provide an opportunity to top police officials to directly brief the Prime Minister on key policing and internal security issues affecting the country.
As per the vision of the Prime Minister, since 2014, the annual conferences, which used to be customarily organised in Delhi, have been organised outside Delhi with an exception of the year 2020 when the conference was held virtually.
