The meeting assumes significance because it comes just ahead of the elections in Himachal Pradesh, which votes on Saturday, and Gujarat, which votes on December 1 and December 5.
Days before elections in two states, Union Home Minister Amit Shah visited the Intelligence Bureau headquarters in Delhi on Wednesday and held a day-long review of the security situation.
The meeting was the first since Tapan Deka took over as Director of the organisation where field officers directly interacted with the Home Minister.
Extensive discussions were held on various aspects of internal security which included extremism, cybersecurity, sea and cross-border related aspects, sources said.
"Border security was discussed at length. Especially anti-drone technology as drone droppings from across the border of arms and drugs have seen a huge rise in the last few months," a senior Home Ministry official said, requesting not to be named.
