Seven States Forge Joint Strategy Against Cybercrime and Narcotics
Police leaders from seven different states in India met in a city called Indore.
They got together to talk about how to stop criminals who do bad things on computers and sell dangerous drugs.
They made a plan to share information with each other quickly.
This way, a police officer in one state can help catch a criminal in another state.
They also talked about keeping people safe during a very big religious festival that will happen in 2028.
The leaders decided to put special officers in every state to watch over crime cases.
They will teach students in schools about staying safe online and staying away from drugs.
They will also share lists of wanted criminals so more criminals can be arrested.
The next meeting of these police leaders will be hosted by the state of Goa.
