Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha will chair a Unified Headquarters (UHQ) meeting at Raj Bhavan in Jammu today, focusing on critical security issues in Jammu and Kashmir. The meeting is set to begin at 11 AM.
The Unified HQ serves as the high command for security and intelligence operations in Jammu and Kashmir. Sources reveal that a key agenda for today’s meeting includes a comprehensive review of the current security landscape amid rising tensions.
The discussion will cover vital topics including winter preparedness and recent escalations at the Line of Control (LoC) with Pakistan. Officials suggest that LG Sinha will receive detailed briefings from top-ranking security officials on the situation at the LoC as well as the international borders in the Union Territory.
Attendees of this important meeting include the Army’s Northern Commander, Lieutenant General Prateek Sharma, Jammu and Kashmir’s Director General of Police Nalin Prabhat, Chief Secretary Atal Duloo, along with heads of paramilitary forces and various intelligence agencies. Their insights will help inform the decisions made at the UHQ meeting.
This meeting marks a significant follow-up to the last UHQ session chaired by Sinha in May. That session followed the success of ‘Operation Sindoor,’ during which he had emphasized the importance of precise, intelligence-led operations. He urged security agencies to actively neutralize terrorists and dismantle their support systems.
As winter approaches, it becomes increasingly important for authorities to ensure enhanced security measures in the region. The meeting today aims to evaluate readiness and proactive strategies that address potential threats while supporting civilian safety.
Commander Lieutenant General Prateek Sharma noted, “Ensuring safety in Jammu and Kashmir is a collective responsibility. We must adapt to changing environments and continuously update our strategies.” His presence at the meeting highlights the Army’s commitment to maintaining order and peace.
The increase in incidents along the LoC necessitates a robust response plan. Last month witnessed a notable rise in cross-border firing, prompting further scrutiny from security analysts.
In summary, today’s UHQ meeting under LG Sinha promises to address urgent security concerns, strategize winter readiness, and reinforce collaboration among various security bodies in Jammu and Kashmir. As local challenges evolve, so too must the responses of these agencies, ensuring a secure and peaceful environment for all residents.
