Listing tribal unrest and student protests among the key police challenges that could emerge in the near future, Union Home Minister Amit Shah is learnt to have told over 750 police officials at a conference last week to adopt a different and more “conciliatory” approach to such issues.
Mr. Shah chaired the National Security Strategy Conference, organised by the Intelligence Bureau (IB), on August 24 and 25. Top police officials from across the country attended the meeting, held in hybrid mode.
A senior government official told The Hindu that Mr. Shah pointed out that policing is not the only solution for issues such as tribal unrest.
