The Home Minister chaired a security review meeting at Lok Bhawan with Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and top security officials. The discussions included updates on ongoing counter-terror operations across Jammu to neutralize terrorist threats and strengthen regional safety.

Ahead of Shah’s arrival, security forces conducted operations in Udhampur and Kishtwar districts, eliminating three top Jaish-e-Mohammed commanders. These Pakistani terrorists had been active in the region for over a year, and their elimination has provided relief to local communities living under constant threat.

Shah also distributed compassionate appointment letters to families of martyrs and met with the bereaved at Lok Bhawan. Tomorrow, he will chair a development review meeting with LG Manoj Sinha and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, focusing on Jammu’s progress and upcoming infrastructure projects.
