With barely five months remaining, the discussions will centre on assessing current progress, identifying operational gaps and recalibrating strategies for the final phase of anti-Naxal campaigns, officials said.

“The Prime Minister and the Home Minister are expected to personally review feedback from DGPs and heads of central forces, ensuring on-ground challenges are directly addressed and operations remain aligned with the national priority of total elimination of Naxalism,” a senior MHA official said.

According to the MHA officials, the meet will also address a broad spectrum of internal security and policing challenges, including innovation in modern policing.

Focus on tech-driven surveillance, Ai in security

There will be a focussed discussion on improving tech-driven surveillance by adopting advanced tools and data-driven intelligence systems. Another focus area would be exploring effective use of AI in security, as the latest tech is considered both a threat and an opportunity for predictive policing, cyber defense and crime analysis, the officials said.
