Sinha Chairs Unified HQ Security Review in Srinagar as Seoj Dhar Encounter Unfolds

Sinha urges sustained intelligence-led operations with a whole-of-government push against radicalisation.

Overview

  • The two-hour-plus review at Raj Bhavan brought together the Northern Army Commander, the J&K DGP, the Chief Secretary, CAPF leaders, intelligence chiefs and senior Corps commanders.
  • The briefing focused on counter-infiltration and counter-terrorism, vigilance along the LoC, winter preparedness and event security, with directives to maintain precise, intelligence-driven action.
  • Sinha told officers the war on terrorism is not over, ordering continued kinetic and non-kinetic measures and calling for a coordinated approach to curb radicalisation and the drug menace.
  • A separate operation is underway at Seoj Dhar on the DodaUdhampur boundary, where joint SOG-JKP and Army teams engaged suspected militants, one soldier was injured and aerial surveillance was deployed.
  • Following the security review, authorities announced the reopening of 12 tourist sites across Kashmir and Jammu from September 29, lifted after precautionary closures following the April 22 attack.
