Identify, eliminate threats before they grow big: Amit Shah urges security agencies
Union Home Minister Amit Shah outlined India's security policy, emphasizing proactive threat identification and elimination, particularly concerning geopolitical instability, radicalisation, cyber misinformation, and illegal immigration. He detailed a four-pronged border security strategy and the government's aim for an "infiltrator-free" and "narcotics-free" India. The article highlights the implementation of new criminal laws, the 'Prahar' anti-terror framework, the Narcotics Control Vision Document 2026-2029, and the crucial role of technology (CCTNS, ICJS, NatGrid, NAFIS, AI) and Centre-State coordination in strengthening internal security and bringing fugitive offenders to justice.
