New Delhi, March 3
A day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah held a review meeting with Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and the Delhi Police Commissioner over law and order situation in the national capital, the Delhi Police has ordered all district deputy commissioners of police (DCP) to intensify drives against criminals, banned drugs and illegal immigrants.
The directions were issued by Special Commissioners (Law and Order) Madhup Tiwari and Ravindra Yadav who also attended the meeting with Delhi CP and other Special CPs held by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on February 28.
The Delhi Police, in the last few months, has conducted multiple drives to control crimes in the city. The 24-hour drives like Operation Kawach and the two-month drive against Bangladeshi immigrants have yielded fruitful results. The officers have been directed to conduct and organize more such drives.
Terming it an issue of national security that should be dealt with strictly, HM Shah had directed the Delhi Police to take strict action against networks that help illegal Bangladeshis and Rohingya enter India, including those who help them get fake documents. He had said that the local police needed to work in coordination with Special Cell and Crime Branch when it comes to dealing with the issue of illegal immigration.
