He said that there was a need to initiate prompt action with alacrity and rigour against terror funding from the proceeds of narcotics trade.
Mr. Shah, who reviewed the security situation in the Union Territory on Wednesday (February 5, 2025), directed all security agencies to step up the fight against terrorism by aiming for the “zero infiltration” goal. He asked all security agencies to take more stringent action on infiltration and acts of terror with a ruthless approach. He said that it should be a goal to uproot the existence of terrorists.
The meeting was attended by the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Manoj Sinha; Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan; Director of the Intelligence Bureau Tapan Kumar Deka; Director General of Police J&K Nalin Prabhat, along with other senior officials. A day ago, Mr. Shah held a review meeting with Chief of the Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi.
Mr. Shah directed the agencies to make fresh appointments to the posts at the Forensic Science Laboratory in view of the timely implementation of the new criminal laws.
Emphasising on the government’s “policy of zero tolerance” against terrorism, the Minister directed all security agencies to remain vigilant and continue to work in synergy to eliminate terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
