Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi on Saturday underlined the
importance of technology in the security and policing set up.“If
criminals are using technology, it can be harnessed to nab them
too,” he said at the fist convocation of Rashtriya Raksha
University in Ahmedabad, Trend reports referring to The
Tribune .
“Earlier, scenario was very different as the security forces had
more time to prepare, which is no longer the case as Technology and
transportation and communication has improved so much,” the PM
said.
“Today's policing requires skills like negotiating and other
soft skills that are needed to function in a democratic scenario.
The notion of internal security during the colonial time was based
on instilling fear among the masses,” said the PM. He stressed the
need for changing the image of police and security personnel. The
depiction of the police in the popular culture has not helped in
this regard, he said. At the outset, the Prime Minister paid
tribute to Mahatma Gandhi and those who participated in the Dandi
March.“The great march was started on this day,” he added.
