Home Secretary Leads Joint Security Review in Jammu to Step Up Anti-Terror Ops Before Republic Day

The two-day push seeks unified action to tighten anti‑infiltration measures, targeting OGW networks after a spike in drone activity.

Overview

  • Govind Mohan chaired a joint meeting in Jammu on January 15 after holding separate sessions with the CRPF, BSF, J&K Police and the Army on January 14.
  • He met Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to review operational preparedness, coordination across forces and the security situation in both Jammu and Kashmir regions.
  • Officials assessed intensified searches in Kathua’s Billawar area and other hilly districts including Doda, Kishtwar and Udhampur, where roughly 30–35 militants are believed to be concealed.
  • Agencies reported increased drone sightings along the International Border and Line of Control, with concerns about fog‑aided infiltration from launch pads across the border; troops recently fired at suspected drones in Rajouri.
  • The review prioritises strengthening the Anti‑Infiltration Grid and identifying Over Ground Workers, aligning with the Home Minister’s January 8 directive for mission‑mode counter‑terror operations.
