Involvement of community elders, monitoring of radical social media platforms and real-time sharing of information are a few steps the Centre plans to take to prevent youths from getting attracted to radical ideologies, propagated by Islamic State.
A high-level meeting on Saturday, chaired by Union home secretary L.C. Goyal, formalised a strategy to neutralise extremist ideologies such as that espoused by Islamic State, which has influenced many around the world.
Counter-radicalisation efforts would include counselling of youths, convincing community elders to persuade the youth not to get influenced by extremist ideology besides others.
The focus would also be on how to quickly respond to any report of youths planning to join terror groups, official sources said. DGPs and home secretaries or their representatives of a dozen states including J&K, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Kerala, Assam, Punjab, West Bengal and Delhi (police commissioner) attended.
