In the aftermath of the recent terror strikes in the Jammu division of Jammu and Kashmir, Union Home Minister Amit Shah conducted a detailed review of the security situation in the region. The back-to-back terror attacks in the Reasi, Kathua, and Doda districts have raised significant concerns about the security landscape of the area. Shah’s meeting with the top security brass focused on assessing the current security measures and the preparedness to tackle such incidents in the future.
During the meeting, Shah emphasized the need to increase troop levels in the Jammu division to enhance security and combat terrorism effectively. The meeting also discussed the upcoming annual Amarnath Yatra, scheduled to begin later this month, and the necessary security arrangements to ensure the safety of pilgrims.
The recent spate of terror attacks in the region, including the tragic incident where Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists targeted a bus carrying pilgrims resulting in casualties and injuries, has underscored the urgency of bolstering security measures. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after conducting a separate review of the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, has called for the deployment of comprehensive counter-terror capabilities to address the threats effectively.
In response to the heightened security concerns, Amit Shah directed security agencies to implement stringent area domination and zero-terror plans in the Jammu division. The focus is on intensifying counter-terror operations to prevent further incidents and maintain law and order in the region. The security forces are expected to work in alignment with the directives issued by the Prime Minister to combat terrorism effectively.
The meeting chaired by Shah included key officials such as National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, Army Chief General Manoj Pande, and other top security officials. The comprehensive briefing provided during the meeting highlighted the current security challenges in Jammu and Kashmir and the strategies to address them.
With the upcoming Amarnath Yatra drawing near, the security apparatus is gearing up to ensure a safe and secure environment for the pilgrimage. The directives issued by Amit Shah and the strategic planning discussed during the meeting aim to enhance security measures in the Jammu division and safeguard the region from potential security threats.
