HM chairs border SPs conference on emerging security challenges

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday chaired a conference of Superintendents of Police(SPs) from border districts in New Delhi. Approximately 119 Superintendents of Police from border states and Union Territories, including Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal and the northeastern state participated in the conference. Senior officials of the Home Ministry also attended the conference. The conference is aimed at strengthening the country’s border security framework by assessing the prevailing situation in vulnerable frontier regions and identifying measures to improve enforcement. The meeting assumes significance amid the Centre’s intensified campaign against illegal immigration, which has been an organised attempt to alter the demographic composition of districts located along the international border in the eastern part of the country.

Apart from infiltration, illegal immigration and demographic changes, border security, drone threats and narcotics trafficking are expected to be discussed during. The conference is also taking place against the backdrop of the Centre’s decision to constitute a high-level committee a few months ago to examine the extent of demographic changes taking place in different parts of the country and identify the factors responsible for them.
