Leh: The Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh, Kavinder Gupta, has called for a strengthened and technology-driven policing framework to counter the rising threat of “white-collar” terror modules—networks that operate through funding channels, logistical support and sophisticated planning rather than overt acts of violence.
Addressing the concluding session of the 2-Day State/UT-Level Conference on Dissemination and Implementation of DGsP/IGsP Conference Recommendations 2025, organised by Ladakh Police at the CIBS Auditorium Hall in Choglamsar, the Lt Governor emphasised that “white-collar” terror modules represent an evolving security challenge and require enhanced intelligence gathering, financial-trail tracking, cyber vigilance and seamless inter-agency coordination. He stressed the need for accelerated deployment of modern investigative tools and advanced training so that the police force remains fully equipped to counter unconventional and technology-enabled threats.
The Lt Governor said that Ladakh’s unique realities—its strategic location, challenging climate, limited connectivity and rapidly evolving security environment—necessitate a shift from conventional policing to technology-enabled, intelligence-led and community-engaged proactive policing.
Calling the conference a critical platform for strengthening Ladakh’s security framework, he stressed the urgent adoption of modern investigative tools, advanced training, and data-driven decision-making so that the police remain fully prepared to counter emerging, tech-enabled threats.
The Lt Governor also highlighted the growing challenge of radicalisation, urging the police to prioritise community engagement, awareness campaigns, educational outreach and early-intervention mechanisms to safeguard youth and protect Ladakh’s social harmony.
