Jammu, Feb 5(NVI): Home Minister Amit Shah has today emphasised the goal of achieving ‘zero infiltration’ in Jammu and Kashmir as part of a renewed effort against terrorism in the region.
Chairing two consecutive high-level review meetings, Shah underscored that the terrorist ecosystem in the Union Territory has been severely weakened due to the sustained and coordinated efforts of the Narendra Modi government.
Shah directed all security agencies to intensify their operations against terrorism, emphasising that the eradication of terrorists remains a top priority. “Our goal should be to uproot the existence of terrorists,” he stated. Shah further reiterated the government’s commitment to wiping out terrorism under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. He also stressed the importance of curbing terror funding, particularly the use of narcotics trade proceeds to finance terror activities, urging swift and rigorous action in this regard.
These high-level discussions included a comprehensive review of the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, with participation from top officials including Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, Director of Intelligence Bureau Tapan Deka, DGP Nalin Prabhat, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, and other senior army, police, and civil officials. The meetings were convened in the wake of a terror attack in Kulgam district on February 3, which led to the death of ex-serviceman Manzoor Ahmad Wagay, and left his wife and niece injured.
This marks the first time that the Home Minister has held such detailed, back-to-back security reviews in Jammu and Kashmir, showcasing the government’s commitment to ensuring the safety and stability of the region. The counter-terrorism efforts will continue to focus on strengthening border security, improving intelligence coordination, and cracking down on terrorist financing activities.(News Vibes of India)
