Need to urgently tackle rogue drones, online frauds: Amit Shah

NEW DELHI: Home minister Amit Shah on Saturday stressed the need for the country's security and law enforcement agencies to identify and tackle emerging national security challenges such as narcotics, rogue drones and online frauds "before they turn into major challenges".

In his concluding remarks at the two-day national security strategies conference - attended by the senior police brass, domain experts and young officers working at the cutting-edge level - Shah urged the state DGPs to work towards realising PM Narendra Modi's vision of a 'prosperous, strong and developed India by 2047'. He proposed a strategy to augment counter-terrorism efforts through cooperation with international agencies, enhanced capacity to choke terror finances, and seamless coordination between the National Investigation Agency and states' anti-terrorism squads (ATS) on terror investigations.
While expressing satisfaction at the "substantial progress" in solving legacy national security concerns such as terrorism in J&K, left-wing extremism and northeast insurgency, the home ministry particularly cautioned the states that had recently achieved success in freeing areas of armed left-wing extremist formations, to maintain vigilance.

On the implementation of the three new criminal laws, Shah urged the police chiefs to ensure that the constitutional rights of citizens are protected and speedy justice delivered to victims.

Shah also urged young of- ficers to apply their mind to finding solutions to combat the entire gamut of fraudulent financial transactions.
