Strong security grid cut Maoist-affected districts from 126 to 11 in ten years: Amit Shah
RAIPUR: Union home minister Amit Shah stated that under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, the DGP/IGP conference has emerged as a vital forum for resolving the countrys internal security challenges from identifying problems and challenges to formulating strategies and policies. Shah made the remark on Friday while inaugurating the three-day Conference in Raipur. Talking about steps taken by the Modi Government for the complete elimination of Maoist, the home minister said that in the last seven years, the Central Government has strengthened the security grid by constructing 586 fortified police stations. As a result the Maoist-affected districts have come down from 126 in the year 2014 to just 11 now. The country will be completely free from the Maoist menace, the home minister affirmed. Shah underlined the Modi governments resolute efforts provided lasting solutions to the three hotspots which had become a festering wound for the nation Naxalism, the North-East, and Jammu & Kashmir. Highlighting the achievements of the Centre, the home minister said that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has been strengthened, the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) has been made more robust, three New Criminal Laws have been introduced, and strong laws have been enacted against narcotics and fugitive offenders. Once the three New Criminal Laws are fully implemented, policing in India will become the most modern in the world, he added. Shah added that after the Centre banned the Popular Front of India (PFI), nationwide raids were conducted on their hideouts and arrests were made, which is an outstanding example of Centre-State coordination. He appreciated that security forces and police are delivering strong blows to extremism, radicalisation and narcotics by focusing on three key aspects: accuracy of intelligence, clarity of objectives, and synergy in action. We must launch a 360-degree attack on narcotics and organised crime and build such a system that drug traffickers and criminals do not get even an inch of space in this country, he said. The time has now come for state police forces to work together with the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and strike hard at narcotics gangs operating at state, national and international levels, and put their masterminds behind bars, he added.

Sriprakash Jaiswal, former Union minister, veteran Congress leader dies at 81
KANPUR/ NEW DELHI: Former Union minister and veteran Congress leader Sriprakash Jaiswal died in Kanpur on Friday following a cardiac arrest. He was 81. Jaiswal was first taken to a local nursing home in Kidwai Nagar on Friday evening after his condition worsened. He was later shifted to the Cardiology Hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival. Born in 1944 in Kanpur to Ganga Prasad Jaiswal and Chandrakali Devi, Jaiswal remained closely connected to his hometown throughout his life. A student of BNSD Inter College, he entered public service early and was elected Mayor of Kanpur in 1989, senior party leader Har Prakash Agnihotri said. Jaiswal married Maya Rani Jaiswal in 1967 and is survived by two sons, one daughter and two grandchildren. His family was with him during his final hours. Before entering the Union Cabinet, he served as president of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee from 2000 to 2002. Jaiswal held significant portfolios in the UPA government led by Manmohan Singh. He served as minister of state for home affairs from 2004 to 2009 and later held the coal ministry from January 2011 to May 2014. In 1999, he was elected to the 13th Lok Sabha from the Kanpur constituency and retained the seat in 2004 and 2009, becoming a three-term MP and one of the most influential Congress leaders from Uttar Pradesh, Congress city president Pawan Gupta said. In 2009, following attacks on Indian students in Australia, Jaiswal travelled to Melbourne to review the situation first hand. His visits to hospitals, temples and public transport systems helped bring international attention to the issue. Condoling his death, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said Jaiswal was a true and loyal Congressman who worked diligently for the development and welfare of Kanpur. His departure is a big loss for the Congress party, he said in a post on X. Even after his defeat in the 2014 elections, Jaiswal remained active in Kanpurs political and social life.
