Director General of Police (DGP) Nalin Prabhat on Thursday called for inter-agency synergy, real-time intelligence sharing, and technology-enabled surveillance to secure sensitive zones near the borders.
DGP Prabhat visited forward areas along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and asked the officers to secure areas like Akhnoor, which have historically been prone to cross-border attempts by terrorist groups and smuggling networks.
An official said the DGP visited the Buchohemandi area, a strategically important area along the LoC.
DGP Prabhat was accompanied by IGP Jammu Zone Bhim Sen Tuti, IGP CRPF Jammu Sector, Gopala K. Rao, DIG JSK Range, Shiv Kumar Sharma, SSP Jammu, Joginder Singh, and senior officers of the Indian Army deployed in the sector.
The DGP, according to the officials, was briefed comprehensively by the Army authorities on the border security grid, with specific focus on vulnerabilities, surveillance infrastructure, JKP-Army coordination, and preparedness of ground units to respond to any cross-border threat.
The visit also aimed at assessing the terrain, visibility advantage, and layout of defensive positions in the forward area.
The presence of senior leadership from the J&K Police, CRPF, and Indian Army underlined the strategic focus on joint operational readiness in the border zones, the official added—(KNO)
