The Story in Brief
Police chiefs from seven states and union territories met in Indore on Friday and agreed on a joint strategy to fight cybercrime, narcotics networks and organised crime. The 13th Western Regional Police Coordination Committee meeting, chaired by Madhya Pradesh DGP Kailash Makwana, focused on security planning for Simhastha-2028. Officials decided to improve real-time intelligence sharing and launch coordinated interstate operations.
The meeting discussed tracing missing children, tackling cybercrime, controlling organised crime and using modern technology. A major focus was taking strict action against illegal narcotics networks. States agreed to share databases of wanted criminals and appoint nodal officers for regular monitoring. The next meeting will be hosted by Goa Police.
The Indian Opinion
The police chiefs' agreement to share real-time intelligence and coordinate operations is a practical step. But the talk of tackling cybercrime and narcotics networks must translate into action. Will these states now share specific data on peddlers and phishing gangs, or will the plan remain on paper? The real test will be the next six months and the number of interstate arrests.
