Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi today expressed need to train the police to handle situations relating to internal security as presently they are found no match with regard to challenges posed by Naxals.
Speaking at a seminar, he said "Today when we see the Naxalites and view the training of policemen in this regard, it is a total mismatch. The job of police is to control the mob, handle small crime related cases. He (policeman) has a stick in hand and a pen to write under which section the crime would be registered. But all of a sudden he has to face a guerrilla war like situation to combat naxalism".
Modi said the police need to be trained according to the challenge they are likely to face and have to be taught the tactics of guerrilla warfare.
"If this is not done and the task of handling Naxals is given to the police, then one after other we would lose our policemen," he said, adding, there was urgent need to do proper planning and train the police.
"There is need to institutionalise the training of human resource. And those coming out of these institutions would help us in combating problems of internal security," Modi said adding with the changing times, increase in population and limited resources, there is a need to overhaul the system.
The national level seminar on 'Human Resource Development to Face Internal Security Challenges' was organised by the Raksha Shakti University.
Over 250 participants ranging from security experts, private security agencies to top police officials participated in the deliberations.
