Facial recognition, automatic number plate recognition tech,
and drones. While addressing home ministers of state on internal
security issues, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that
states should not let budget constraints get in the way
of technological advances and that the rollout of 5G technology
will improve surveillance efforts.
Modi warned that criminals have globalized and "we need to
be ten steps ahead." He added that interstate and international
crimes have increased.
"That is why mutual cooperation between state agencies and
between central and state agencies is becoming crucial," Modi said.
He said technological advances are required to tackle cyber crimes
and drones used for the smuggling of drugs and weapons.
"The law and order system can be improved with the help of smart
technology," he said.
The PM suggested that 5G technology can benefit law enforcement.
"With the help of 5G, the performance of facial recognition
technology, automatic number plate recognition technology, drone
and CCTV related technology, are going to improve manifolds,"
Modi said.
"We need to make our law and order system smartÂ… My request
is that please don't weigh technology with budget (constraints)," he
added.
Modi said that there was a need for a common platform because
different state agencies do not communicate.
"Many states are working on it in their own capabilities. But what
has come to the fore is that our technologies do not talk to each
other and that is why our energy gets wasted," Modi said.
"We should have a pan India outlook, all our best practices should
be interoperable and should have a common link," he added.
