India's internal security situation has undergone a sea of change in the past decade, with terror attacks coming down by a noticeable margin. A former top police official has revealed how PM Modi has contributed to this change.
Bhim Sain Bassi, the top policeman, head of the Police Force in Delhi from 2013 to 2016, has revealed PM Narendra Modi's mantra behind encouraging the country's security forces, which has resulted in a significant reduction in terror attacks in the South Asian nation.

"PM Modi's government is imbued with out-of-the-box thinking. The way to encourage this thinking is the speciality of the Modi government. I have worked with past governments as IG (Inspector General) Chandigarh, DG (Director General) Goa, and then I was Delhi Police Commissioner in both union governments. The Modi government encourages the security establishment to think outside the box and solve complex issues," he told reporters in New Delhi on Monday.

In the previous government, headed by the Congress party's Dr. Manmohan Singh, India experienced a wave of terrorist attacks, including in various cities spanning the length and breadth of the world's largest democratic sovereign state.
Among the cities that saw deadly bombings were Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Delhi before 10 of Pakistani-based terrorists barged into Mumbai, killing 166 in a sixty-hour siege of the city in November 2008.

"Intelligence gathering used to happen earlier but it is the Modi government, which has ensured that agencies work overtime to ensure no bomb attacks can take place," Bassi added.

It is worth noting, that since Modi took over the reins of the country in 2014, terrorism-related incidents in India have witnessed a sharp dip.

Barring a low-intensity bomb blast in Bengaluru in March this year, India has remained largely terror-free except for insurgency-hit regions of Kashmir and Manipur.
