Advocating the concept of 'SMART' policing, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said a country which has an efficient intelligence network does not need any arms and ammunition to run the government.

Focusing on the police force and intelligence agencies, Mr. Modi said he wanted a force which takes care of the country's law and order in an efficient manner.

He said, by 'SMART' policing, he meant S for strict but sensitive, M for modern and mobile, A for alert and accountable, R for reliable and responsive and T for techno-savvy and trained.

The Prime Minister was addressing the conference of the Director Generals of Police in Guwahati Sunday morning.

He said, the police force should inculcate these values to ensure best policing which will go a long way in improving its image and work culture.

Mr. Modi also highlighted the need to honour 33,000 police personnel martyred in the country after Independence as this was not a small number and their sacrifice should not go waste.

He said through a lot of good things happening in the nation, positive stories should be published properly so that people are aware about it.

The Prime Minister said police welfare is another issue which need to be given importance.

Later the Prime Minister met all the DGPs.
