In a crucial move to bolster national security amidst escalating threats, Union Home Minister Amit Shah convened a high-level meeting in New Delhi to assess the current border and airport security arrangements. The session, held at the Home Minister's residence, included key officials such as Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan and Director General of Border Security Force Daljit Chawdhary.

The meeting unfolded against the backdrop of heightened vigilance along sensitive zones following recent missile and drone assaults targeting parts of India's Jammu region and Rajasthan. Officials briefed Amit Shah on security preparations and the prevailing ground situation, reinforcing the need for robust defenses and preparedness.

Highlighting urgency, the meeting was held shortly after the Border Security Force foiled a major infiltration attempt by neutralizing seven terrorists in the Jammu Frontier's Samba Sector. Discussions centered on strengthening inter-agency coordination, enhancing surveillance capabilities, and rapid response strategies to safeguard against potential security breaches, especially at high-traffic areas like airports.
