Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday emphasized the urgent need to identify and combat emerging national security challenges such as rogue drones, online frauds, and narcotics before they escalate.

Speaking at the National Security Strategies Conference-2024, Shah urged police chiefs to uphold the constitutional rights of citizens and ensure justice is delivered promptly.
