SRINAGAR: Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to chair a high-level meeting in the national capital on Thursday to review the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir. The meeting is expected to be held at 3 pm in the North Block office of the Ministry of Home Affairs.
As per media reports, the meeting will be attended by Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla, Director General of Police Jammu and Kashmir Dilbagh Singh, and other senior officers from the Ministry of Home Affairs and Central Armed Police Forces. Director Intelligence Bureau Tapan Deka and Central Central Reserve Police Force Director General SL Thaosen will also be present.
The purpose of the meeting is to review the functioning of the security grid and various aspects related to security, and to give necessary directions to follow the policy of zero tolerance against terrorism.
