India's security challenges to remain dynamic: Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said the country's internal security challenges would remain dynamic in view of India's geo-political neighbourhood. Delivering the concluding address at the eighth National Security Strategies Conference (NSSC) in New Delhi, Shah also said that demonstrating strong political will, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again not only reaffirmed the policy of zero tolerance against terrorism, but also presented it before the world in a remarkable manner through Operation Sindoor. Shah exhorted the state police forces and Central security agencies to adopt the motto of 'Suraksha, Sajagta and Samanvay' (security, alertness and coordination)," an official statement said. The Minister asked agencies to build a nationwide real-time data-sharing mechanism to tackle emerging challenges.
He said that India is one of the fastest emerging economies, and with that, the challenges before the country are also increasing. We must stay more vigilant and tackle problems with heightened awareness. "To address the challenges coming before the nation, a reliable ecosystem for real-time data sharing must be established. All agencies must make a security-first approach, habitual alertness, and coordination an integral part of their working methodology," Shah said.
The Home Minister observed that India was now a world leader in new and emerging technologies, start-ups, green energy and innovations. He emphasized that India’s rising stature would lead to increasing national security challenges in the years to come.  He mentioned that this conference is significant in enabling senior officers to guide young officers, familiarize them with challenges, and show them the path to finding solutions. He urged that the use of national databases like NATGRID, NIDAAN, iMoT and CBI’s fugitive database be inculcated amongst young officers by including them in all training programs.
