In a crucial meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Amrit Lal Meena, officials, including Development Commissioner Pratyaya Amrit and Director General of Police Vinay Kumar, reviewed the current security strategies. The focus remains on key infrastructures like airports and railway stations, with heightened security at tourist spots and areas near the international border.
