Union HM Amit Shah holds 'Chintan Shivir' with CAPFs to work on drone technology
New Delhi, June 13
Union Home Minister Amit Shah chaired ‘Chintan Shivir’ (brainstorming session) of IPS officers posted in Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and National Security Guard (NSG) to constitute a dedicated team to work on drone technology and anti-drone measures.
In Chintan Shivir, various topics related to the forces were discussed like border security, capacity building, guidance of junior officers, social media and law enforcement, central and state subjects, monitoring of Ayushman CAPFs.
HM Shah also asked for all CAPFs to promote the purchase of local products, saying it would increase employment opportunities in the border areas and ultimately stop migration.
He said the CAPFs are making valuable contributions by maintaining internal law and order, protecting borders, conducting fair elections, doing relief and rescue operations in times of disaster. All CAPFs may have different geographical areas and roles, but their problems and solutions are the same which need to be worked upon with a positive approach.
The Vibrant Village Program has been started to develop and create employment opportunities in the border areas. Contact and communication with every border village and its residents is very important for the security of the borders, he added.
