Srinagar, Dec 14(NVI) : Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to chair a high-level security meeting related to security affairs on December 19, in New Delhi.
Sources this meeting will focus on reviewing and strategizing the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, reflecting the government’s consistent efforts to ensure peace and stability in the region. The session is being convened almost five months after a similar review meeting on June 16, underscoring the central government’s emphasis on maintaining a robust security framework in the Union Territory.
Key officials expected to attend the meeting include Jammu and Kashmir’s Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, Intelligence Bureau Director Tapan Deka, Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi, the Director Generals of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), and senior officers from the Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and other security agencies. Their collective insights and recommendations will shape the strategies to combat terrorism and address evolving security challenges.
This meeting is of critical importance in light of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government’s commitment to eradicating terrorism from Jammu and Kashmir. Previous meetings have emphasized measures such as implementing an “area domination plan” and a “zero terror plan,” both of which focus on proactively neutralizing threats in the Kashmir Valley and replicating these successes in the Jammu region. Shah has repeatedly stressed the need for seamless coordination among security forces, rapid response mechanisms, and effective identification and management of vulnerable areas.
In earlier meetings, the Home Minister had directed security agencies to work in “mission mode” to strengthen the anti-terrorism framework, including cracking down on cross-border infiltration and dismantling local networks that aid militant activities. These measures are aligned with the central government’s zero-tolerance policy toward terrorism and its goal of rooting out such activities from the region.
The December 19 meeting is expected to explore innovative approaches for tackling terrorism and ensuring long-term peace and development in Jammu and Kashmir. It also serves as a reminder of the government’s intent to remain vigilant and proactive in addressing the region’s security challenges, particularly in light of the shifting geopolitical landscape and the ongoing threats posed by cross-border terrorism.(News Vibes of India)
