New Delhi: In a gesture never done before, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to send Republic Day wishes to all the ‘men in Khaki’ via SMSes.

Bulletproof tent, anti-aircraft guns show up in Dhordo village for PM's stay-1About 18 lakh policemen- from Director General of Police to constables, of all states will be greeted by the PM himself.

The Prime Minister is said to have expressed his desire during the just concluded three-day DGPs conference held in Rann of Kutch in Gujarat, official sources said.

Modi said it was necessary to have a list of contact details of all policemen and asked the state DGPs to prepare the list before January 26 so that he could send the SMSes on Republic Day.

The Prime Minister strongly pitched for use of traditional media and social media by policemen for their advantage saying that they cannot shy away from changing time and technology.

Keeping in mind the concerns over radicalisation of youths by ISIS and other terror groups, the Prime Minister said sensitivity should be a vital element of policing and suggested setting up of a “flexible institutional framework” under which police should establish links with local communities.

“Police forces should establish links with local communities and one way of doing this is to celebrate the successes and achievements of people in the community,” he said.

Police in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Delhi

have involved family and community elders in de-radicalisation of a few youths who allegedly came under the influence of Middle-East terrorist group ISIS recently.

Modi also spoke on the subjects of tourism policing, disaster management and police training.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Ministers of State for Home Kiren Rijiju and Haribhai Parthibhai Chaudhary were present at the conference which was organised by Intelligence Bureau.
