MHA to Organize First CAPF Conference To Seek More Depth In Internal Security Dynamics

According to a top source, the MHA is planning to organise a first-of-its-kind conference, calling DGs and senior command of CAPFs to discuss on internal security dynamics and CAPFs' increasing strategic role in it. At the same time, the official agenda and dates have yet to be finalised, according to top sources. The Intelligence Bureau (IB) is said to be tasked with organising the conference.

Sources add that IB is currently seeking detailed comments from the DGs of CAPF on the possible roadmap for the CAPF conference, after which IB, along with MHA, will decide the agenda soon. A top source said that the process is most likely to be finalised in the upcoming weeks. Top sources in the security establishment said that the conference is most likely to be chaired by the Prime Minister, and the agenda is being brainstormed to cultivate jointness and synergy among CAPF in the backdrop of the evolving landscape of threats to national security.
