Terrorism and left-wing extremism were also discussed.
The Prime Minister advised increasing the use of technology in police functioning and reducing the workload on police constables in the conference of top police officials.

Call to turn technology challenges into opportunities.
During the conference, the Prime Minister also cautioned against the threats posed by digital fraud, cybercrime, and AI technology and called for turning challenges into opportunities by using artificial intelligence.
