The Hindu··26 Aug
Home Minister Amit Shah told police chiefs at the National Security Strategies Conference to detect and deport illegal migrants and use AI-based analysis of Multi Agency Centre data to build standard operating procedures against security threats. The two-day conference, attended by over 850 participants including state DGPs, also covered counter-terrorism, narcotics control, cybercrime and Pakistan's proxy warfare.

What It Means For You
- If you live in a border state or city with migrant labour populations, this signals stepped-up identification and deportation drives by state police under central direction.
- Anyone concerned about digital surveillance should note the push for AI-based analysis of security data, which could expand how agencies track and flag individuals.
- It's relevant context for ongoing debates on 'artificial demographic change,' a phrase Shah has used before in relation to illegal immigration concerns.
