Organizers screened a short film showcasing the work of Bihar Police during the event. Before the conference, the Chief Minister inspected 'Jeevika Didi Ki Rasoi' located inside Sardar Patel Bhavan. He sought detailed information about the arrangements at the kitchen facility.
Cybercrime and Narcotics Control Discussions
Inspector General P Kannan made a brief presentation before Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister Samrat Choudhary. He covered issues discussed during the All India Conference of Directors General and Inspectors General of Police-2025.
A police headquarters communique stated that cybercrime and narcotics control issues received wide discussion on the opening day of the two-day police conference. These topics form critical components of Bihar's updated law enforcement strategy.
The conference represents a significant effort to align Bihar's policing with national standards while addressing state-specific challenges through newly established specialized units.
