"After the 'Yoga session', the Prime Minister would participate in deliberations with the top police officers from 8 am till 5 pm on Saturday," a top police official told PTI.
Issues like cross-border terrorism, radicalisation of youth and attempts to lure Indians into Middle East terrorist groups, like ISIS, will be discussed threadbare at the meeting.
Filling up of vacant posts in various police forces, reforms in police forces, menace of narcotics smuggling and human trafficking will also be discussed extensively during the conference.
The Prime Minister and Home Minister will interact with the top police officers and get their feedback about the internal security situation and various aspects of police personnel, official sources said.
This is for the third time since Independence that the conference is being held outside Delhi. It was held in Guwahati in 2014 and Kutch in Gujarat last year. The idea of holding the meeting of DGPs and IGPs outside Delhi was mooted by Modi after he assumed power in 2014.
The conference is being attended by around 100 DGPs of states, Director Generals of Central paramilitary forces and their Inspectors General. Rajnath Singh will also take part in the valedictory function on Sunday.
