Annual DGPs/IGPs meet likely in Hyderabad

The annual conference of DGPs and IGPs is likely to be held in Hyderabad on November 25-27 where a host of issues, including cross border terrorism and radicalisation of youths, will be discussed in presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
This will be for the third time since independence that the conference will be held outside Delhi - first in Guwahati in 2014 and Kutch in Gujarat in 2015. The idea of holding the meeting of DGPs and IGPs outside Delhi was first mooted by the Prime Minister himself after he assumed power in 2014.
Issues like cross border terrorism, radicalisation of youths and attempts to lure Indians into Middle-East terrorist group ISIS will top the agenda of the meeting being hosted by the Intelligence Bureau, official sources said.

Filling up of vacant posts in various police forces, reforms in police forces, circulation of fake Indian currency notes, smuggling of narcotics and human trafficking will also be discussed threadbare during the two-day conference, the sources said.
The Prime Minister and Home Minister Rajnath Singh will directly interact with the top police officers and get their feedback about the prevailing internal security situation and various aspects of police personnel.
The conference, which has been tentatively fixed for November 25-27, will be attended by around 100 Directors General of Police (DGPs) of states, Directors of central paramilitary forces and their Inspectors General, sources said.
