Interestingly, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is also going to attend the conference. UP goes to the polls early next year.
Starting tomorrow, top intelligence and security officials of the country will discuss the rising threat from China and Pakistan. The Intelligence Bureau - which is responsible for the internal security of the country - is organising a two-day 56th DGP level conference in Lucknow. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will chair the conference.
"Drone attacks in Jammu have shown that there is a major change as far as terror attacks and dealing with our neighbours is concerned, so it's going to be one of the major focus areas in the conference," a senior official disclosed.
Two Indian Air Force personnel were injured when two explosive devices were dropped from a drone on the IAF station in Jammu on the intervening night of June 26-27 this year. The IAF station was 14-15 km from the International Border with Pakistan.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah after the attack had asked border guarding forces to map border areas and identify weak spots.
