Emphasizing the importance of inter-agency synergy, the DGP said,
“Robust coordination between the Army, CRPF, and J&K Police is essential for effective border management. Our collective strength lies in timely information sharing, joint planning, and seamless ground execution.”
He also highlighted the need to leverage modern technology, including real-time surveillance systems, drone monitoring, night-vision equipment, and intelligence-based patrolling, to plug infiltration gaps and improve situational awareness along the LoC.
