New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to attend the All India Conference of Director Generals/ Inspector Generals of Police from 30 November and 1 December. The conference, held at the State Convention Centre, Lok Seva Bhawan, will focus on crucial national security issues such as counter-terrorism, left-wing extremism, coastal security, narcotics, and new criminal laws, a PIB release stated.

 

The three-day event will serve as a platform for senior police officers and security administrators to discuss and address operational, infrastructural, and welfare concerns faced by police forces across India.  Discussions will encompass the formulation and sharing of best practices in crime control, law and order management, and internal security threat mitigation.
