Ramban, Feb 10: Inspector General of Police (Jammu) Bhim Sen Tuti conducted a high-level review meeting on Monday to assess operational preparedness in the Chenab valley districts of Doda, Kishtwar, and Ramban.
The meeting, held at the Range Police Headquarters in Batote, focused on strengthening security measures in the region, which faced several terror-related incidents, particularly in Doda and Kishtwar last year.
Tuti led discussions with senior officers on the strategic deployment of forces, carefully evaluating the security situation, operational readiness, and response protocols. “The meeting focused on ensuring seamless coordination among various security agencies and police forces deployed in the region to maintain law and order while addressing potential threats,” a police spokesperson said.
The review emphasized countering emerging security challenges, enhancing surveillance capabilities, and bolstering cooperation between field forces and the intelligence network. Additionally, Tuti highlighted the importance of strengthening logistics support, patrolling, and preventive measures to thwart any possible incidents.
A key aspect of the discussions was the need for continuous engagement with local communities, especially in areas with difficult terrain. “Building trust and cooperation with the local population is essential for effective security,” the spokesperson added.
The IGP also underscored the welfare of officers deployed in remote and challenging locations as a priority, ensuring their well-being while securing the region. (KINS)
