The PM also stressed on constabulary intelligence for effective policing. “Now a days technology plays an important role in crime detection, be it CCTV footage, mobile tracking.
It helps you in a big way. But the same technology is also responsible for suspension of police personnel at times”, he said.
“The way technology is helpful it is also becoming a cause of problems … and police are subjected to it more”, he added.
