The Union Home Minister stressed that the issue of illegal intruders is directly linked to national security and should be dealt with strictly. Amit Shah was clear in his instructions to have a \”top to bottom and bottom to top\” approach in dealing with the illegal occupancy issue in Delhi. The meeting was attended by newly-elected Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Delhi Home Minister Ashish Sood, Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora and other senior officials. Mr Shah also asked police officials to prioritise the elimination of interstate gangs operating in the Delhi-NCR region and said strict action should be taken against those police stations and sub-divisions which consistently perform poorly in controlling street crime. For quick disposal of 2020 Delhi riot cases, the Delhi government has been asked to appoint special prosecutors so that riot cases can be disposed of soon. The Delhi Police has been told to identify the places where bottlenecks lead to regular traffic jams and prepare a ‘Monsoon Action Plan’ to deal with water-logging.
