Kashmir, May 7, 2025 – Union Home Minister Amit Shah presided over a high-stakes meeting in New Delhi today, bringing together Chief Ministers, Director Generals of Police =, and Chief Secretaries from India’s border states to bolster national security and streamline border management. The gathering included leaders from Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Sikkim, and West Bengal, along with the Lieutenant Governors of Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir.
The meeting focused on fortifying India’s border security framework amid rising regional tensions, particularly following Operation Sindoor, a recent military initiative targeting cross-border terrorist networks. Shah emphasized the need for seamless inter-state coordination and robust law enforcement to counter threats along India’s frontiers. Discussions also covered intelligence-sharing, infrastructure development, and preparedness of paramilitary forces, which have been placed on high alert with leaves canceled.
Sources suggest the meeting addressed specific challenges, including potential infiltration risks and the need for advanced surveillance along sensitive borders. Shah, a key figure in the Bharatiya Janata Party and a trusted aide of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reiterated the central government’s commitment to safeguarding India’s sovereignty through unified state-central collaboration.
This strategic dialogue underscores the Ministry of Home Affairs’ priority to align state administrations with national security objectives, ensuring India’s borders remain secure in a volatile geopolitical climate.
