New Delhi: Home minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday reviewed the security situation in the northeastern states. While asserting that the North East had huge potential for development with rich human and natural resources, he added that it was imperative to restore security in the entire region.
“Since counter-insurgency operations are now not taking as much time of the security forces as before, the state police forces need to focus on improving normal police functioning, better prosecution and conviction in criminal cases. There is also a need to improve investigation by adding scientific tools and forensic science laboratories,” Rajnath Singh said.
