NEW DELHI, JUNE 16: Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday directed the security agencies to implement area domination and zero-terror plans in the Jammu province like they did in Kashmir Kashmir to achieve success.
Chairing a high level meeting to review security situation in Jammu and Kashmir in the wake of series of recent terror attacks, he told officials that the PM Narendra Modi Government is committed to set an example by cracking down on terrorists through innovative means in the Union Territory.
He directed the agencies to replicate in the Jammu province the successes achieved in the Kashmir Valley through the area domination plan and the zero-terror plan, sources said, adding that he, at a subsequent meeting, also reviewed the preparations for the annual Amarnath pilgrimage, which is scheduled to begin on June 29.
Sources said the home minister was given a thorough briefing on the prevailing situation in Jammu and Kashmir by the officials, who said that the operations against terrorists will be carried out in line with the prime minister’s directive.
Shah presided over the high-level meeting here at the North Block, three days after Prime Minister Modi held a similar meeting where he directed officials to deploy the “full spectrum of counter-terror capabilities” after a spate of terror incidents, including an attack on a bus carrying pilgrims in Reasi district.
