This was the second consecutive security review meeting, following a similar discussion chaired by the Home Minister with Army officials on Tuesday.

Attendees included Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, Director General of Police Nalin Prabhat, and other senior officials from the region. Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan and the Director of the Intelligence Bureau were also present.

The meeting is part of a series of ongoing security assessments, where the Home Minister has consistently emphasized the need to strengthen intelligence networks, prevent cross-border infiltration, and push forward developmental initiatives in Jammu and Kashmir.

In previous discussions, Shah has reiterated a zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism and called for better coordination between central and state security forces.

In recent years, the government has intensified counter-terror efforts, dismantling terror networks and increasing developmental outreach in the region.

This security review remains critical in light of recent incidents, ongoing anti-terror operations, and the government's commitment to ensuring lasting peace in Jammu and Kashmir.
