HANDWARA: In a major initiative to fortify the existing counter-terror mechanisms and enhance area domination, SSP Handwara Shri Sajjad Khaliq Bhat-JKPS chaired a high-level joint security review meeting at the District Police Headquarters, Handwara. The strategic conclave was aimed at reviewing the prevailing security scenario, evaluating vulnerability mapping, and sharpening operational synergy between the Jammu & Kashmir Police, the Indian Army, and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) across the frontier district.

The crucial meeting witnessed a robust gathering of top-brass security commanders operating in the region, including Commanding Officers of the 21 Rashtriya Rifles (RR), 30 RR, and 32 RR, 12 Maratha Light Infantry (MLI), 92 Battalion, 162 Battalion, and 157 Battalion of the CRPF, Coy Commander of the 22 RR and all Gazetted Officers (GOs) of Police District Handwara.

During the extensive session, SSP Handwara undertook a microscopic review of anti-terror protocols, intelligence sharing mechanism, and deployment arrangements. The core directives issued during the meeting focused on emphasising the critical need for seamless, real-time intelligence pooling and absolute coordination between the Police, Army, and CAPFs during joint operations.

The chair further directed to tighten the inner and outer security tiers by intensifying patrolling, implementing precise naka (checkpoint) operations, and maintaining round-the-clock vigilance at sensitive hotspots. Besides, executing pre-emptive action against elements trying to disrupt peace, law and order, or civilian tranquillity in the district.

Addressing the joint commanders, Sh. Sajjad Khaliq Bhat praised the exemplary professional commitment and unwavering dedication of all security personnel working on the ground. He exhorted all ranks to remain operationally prepared and maintain an iron-clad posture to neutralize any emerging security challenges swiftly and effectively.
