A COMPREHENSIVE multi tier security grid has been activated in Nava Raipur, Atal Nagar, for the 60th All India Conference of Directors General and Inspectors General of Police at the Indian Institute of Management campus (IIM) from November 28 to 30, 2025. The participation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval has placed the capital region under one of its widest strategic security operations, involving ground deployment, aerial surveillance and continuous route monitoring.
 
Hosting the national policing leadership meet for the first time since the formation of Chhattisgarh, the state has structured its security matrix around real time command integration, rapid route mobility and interagency coordination. More than 2000 personnel have been deployed, including 38 senior officers from Indian Police Service (IPS), State Police Service (SPS) and supervisory ranks, supported by Station House Officers (SHOs) and structured constabulary units. The deployment plan secures high speed corridors, access control points and inner cordons mapped to VVIP movement.
 
Operational oversight is being led by Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Training Dipanshu Kaabra, supported by Raipur Range Inspector General Amresh Mishra, Police Academy Director, Inspector General Ajay Yadav and Deputy Inspectors General (DIGs) Prashant Agrawal, Amit Tukaram Kamble and Dr Santosh Kumar Singh. Seven SSP and SP ranked officers and 25 SPS officers from ASP to DSP ranks have been assigned sector responsibilities including route audits, deployment verification and rapid response management.
 
Their role anchors the supervisory backbone of the entire grid. A high level preparatory meeting was held in Raipur where ADGP Training Dipanshu Kaabra and ADGP Intelligence Amit Kumar reviewed the coordination structure for VVIP and VIP arrivals during the conference. Officers engaged in field supervision were directed to maintain strict communication flow, ensure response readiness and uphold disciplined conduct throughout the event. Suggestions from officers were taken up for incorporation into field protocols.
 
In a separate briefing, DIG Prashant Agrawal, overseeing route and traffic management for the DG Conference, addressed personnel drawn from Raipur district and other police units. He instructed teams to maintain full alertness during VVIP movements, ensure clean turnout, prevent obstructions on designated corridors and report any suspicious activity to senior officers. Additional emphasis was placed on preventing stray animal movement and ensuring smooth traffic flow. Central intelligence and protection mechanisms remain embedded under ADGP Intelligence Amit Kumar following advanced liaison sessions with the Special Protection Group (SPG) and the Intelligence Bureau (IB).
 
Dedicated teams have been positioned for airport screening, convoy sequencing, venue cordoning and electronic counter measure deployment to ensure seamless protection during the three day conference. Strengthening the movement framework, the Collector and District Magistrate of Raipur issued an order restricting the entry and movement of medium and heavy commercial vehicles across the Nava Raipur area during the conference period.
 
Acting on a recommendation from the Senior Superintendent of Police Raipur, the restriction covers routes connecting Mana Airport, Speaker House and the IIM campus. The directive, issued under Rule 215 of the Motor Vehicles Rules, 1994, cites public safety and uninterrupted VVIP mobility. It has been circulated to the Transport Department, divisional administration, Sub Divisional Magistrates, ASP and the Regional Transport Officer for immediate enforcement.
