Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the day two Union Home Ministry-driven Chintan Shivir conclave on internal security that began on Thursday. Home ministers of all states are attending the 2-day even in Surajkund to discuss a host of internal security issues, including checking cybercrimes, ensuring women’s security and coastal security.
