Rajasthan Bolsters Border Security Amid Indo-Pak Tensions

In response to escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, Rajasthan's Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma convened a high-level meeting with ministers to fortify the state's administrative and disaster response capabilities. As a state sharing a long border with Pakistan, Rajasthan has declared an emergency preparedness initiative across its border districts.

The government has sanctioned Rs 5 crore for each of the four primary border districts, focusing on emergency preparedness and resources. Additional fire tenders, ambulances, and stocked blood banks are being arranged to address potential crises. Citizens are advised to adhere to the Union Home Ministry's guidelines and avoid misinformation.

Furthermore, in regions such as Jaisalmer and Barmer, local administrations have banned drone operations, fireworks, and public gatherings. Precautionary measures have also led to the cancellation and rescheduling of trains, underlining the state's comprehensive approach to maintaining security during these uncertain times.
