Police to keep vigil on terror groups: DGP

August 07, 2016 12:00 am | Updated 10:00 am IST - Nagpur:

Under its new DGP, Maharashtra Police is working on a two-pronged strategy of improving intelligence gathering about terror groups and connecting better with citizens.

The Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) is also being equipped with modern gadgets and a strategy is being firmed up to effectively counter propaganda from outfits like ISIS, said Satish Mathur, who took over as DGP a week ago.

“As a first step, police personnel will visit each and every household in their jurisdiction to connect with people to get real-time intelligence inputs from society about anti-social and terror activities,” he told reporters on Friday night.

“At another level, ATS will be equipped with modern gadgets to counter any emergency situation,” he said. — PTI
