New Delhi, Feb 3: Union Home Minister Amit Shah will review the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday.
Shah is expected to discuss the status of the zero-tolerance policy against terrorism and the ongoing operations against terrorists, they said.
The review meeting will be held a day after a terror attack in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district, in which ex-serviceman Manzoor Ahmad Wagay was killed and his wife and niece were injured on Monday, the sources said.
Jammu and Kashmir’s Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, senior officials of the Jammu and Kashmir Police, Army, Central Reserve Police Force, and home ministry are likely to attend the meeting.
During the last review meeting on December 19, 2024, Shah directed all security agencies to continue working in a coordinated manner to eliminate terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
Shah had said in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Zero Tolerance Policy against terrorism, they will achieve the goal of ‘Terror Free Jammu and Kashmir’ at the earliest and all resources will be made available for this.
He said that the Modi Government, with the joint efforts of all security forces, is committed to establishing complete dominance over terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
Amit Shah said that the unprecedented participation of the people of Jammu and Kashmir in the Assembly elections and Lok Sabha elections shows that they have full faith in the democracy of the country.
Union Home Minister appreciated the efforts of the security agencies for a significant decline in terrorist incidents, infiltration, and recruitment of youth in terrorist organizations.
Union Home Minister said that due to the sustained and coordinated efforts of the Modi Government, the eco-system of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir has almost ended. He directed all security agencies to continue working in a coordinated manner to eliminate terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
Shah emphasized the implementation of the Area Domination Plan and Zero Terror Plan in mission mode.
The government has maintained that there is a significant decline in terrorist incidents, infiltration, and recruitment of youth in terrorist organizations.
The security forces last week launched a massive operation in Jammu and Kashmir, mostly in the higher reaches and forest areas along the Line of Control, to locate and eliminate the terrorists who carried out multiple attacks in different districts last year.
Areas such as Reasi, Doda, Kishtwar, Kathua, Jammu, and Rajouri have seen increased terror activity in the last couple of years.
