Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday (November 28, 2025) said security forces and police are effectively combating extremism, radicalisation and narcotics by focusing on precise intelligence, clarity of objectives, and synergy in action.
Mr. Shah was speaking after inaugurating the three-day 60th Director General of Police Conference organised by the Intelligence Bureau in Raipur. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the conference over the next two days on November 29 and 30.
Mr. Modi, who arrived in Raipur on Friday night, posted on X, “After two very special programmes in Karnataka and Goa, landed in Chhattisgarh to take part in the DGP/IGP Conference being held in Raipur. There will be extensive interactions with top officials on ways to strengthen India’s security apparatus.”
Mr. Shah said the conference has emerged as a key forum for resolving the country’s internal security challenges – from identifying problems and challenges to formulating strategies and policies. Referring to the actionable steps taken by the Modi Government for the complete elimination of Naxalism, the Home Minister said that in the last seven years, the Central Government has strengthened the security grid by constructing 586 fortified police stations. As a result, the number of Naxal-affected districts has come down from 126 in 2014 to just 11 today.
