Gandhinagar: In a major security initiative, Gujarat Police have launched a 100-hour statewide drive to identify and investigate anti-national elements who have been active in the state over the past 30 years, Director General of Police Vikas Sahay announced.

DGP Sahay said, “On November 8, the Gujarat Anti-Terror Squad arrested some anti-national operatives and seized weapons and ammunition from them. Subsequent similar actions against such elements took place in Faridabad on November 9, and on the same day, a bomb blast occurred in Delhi. Keeping all this in mind, the Gujarat Police are on high alert, and all police stations in the state have been instructed to update their records of anti-national elements who have been nabbed and booked in the last 30 years.”

He added, “After updating the records of such elements, thorough investigations shall be carried out into their current activities. A detailed dossier will be compiled once the investigations are complete. All police stations have been informed and instructed that the investigation must be concluded within 100 hours, ensuring that every anti-national operative in the state is identified, checked, and monitored. A detailed dossier shall then be created.”

The DGP reiterated that this drive will be carried out across all police stations in the state over the next 100 hours.
