In order to improve and ensure better coordination between the newly formed government under the leadership of chief minister Rekha Gupta and Delhi Police, union home minister Amit Shah on Friday chaired an important meeting focused on law and order and women safety in the city.
The meeting which started at 11.30 am in the morning was attended by the union home secretary and IB chief along with senior officers from the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Newly elected Delhi chief minister and BJP’s debutante MLA from Shalimar Bagh Rekha Gupta along with Delhi Home Minister Ashish Sood also joined the meeting.
This comes after the BJP came back into power after 27 years in Delhi. Now, the party under its double engine government plans to improve the security measures including women safety which has always come under the scrutiny in Delhi.
The previous government had also flagged issues of poor management of the law and order and blamed the government at the centre. However, things seem to have changed ever since Gupta took the oath on February 20.
The BJP is emphasizing on fixing various issues including healthcare, infrastructure and now police management in the city.
During the meeting, the leaders discussed pointers on how to tackle the new law and order challenges in the national capital while simultaneously strengthening the police’s effort to address these challenges.
Shah has been monitoring security across the country and has previously emphasized the need for a robust law enforcement mechanism in the national capital.
Earlier on February 18, the Union Home Minister emphasized the urgent necessity of enforcing “trial in absentia” provisions as well as full implementation of new criminal laws in Jammu and Kashmir by April 2025 during a meeting with the Union Territory’s Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha.
