Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police Nalin Prabhat on Thursday chaired a high-level security review meeting at Srinagar to assess the security situation in the Valley and to strategise measures for “further strengthening the security and intelligence grid”.
Prabhat emphasised strengthening the city’s security grid through advanced surveillance, effective inter-agency coordination, and proactive field engagement. In a statement, the J&K Police said the DGP directed officers to establish “dynamic and surprise nakas (check points) at strategic and vulnerable points to enhance area domination and deterrence”.
The meeting at the Police Control Room in Srinagar was attended by senior officers, including the CRPF IG, range DIGs of J&K, all district SSPs in the Kashmir Zone, and the Kashmir IGP.
Officers briefed the DGP on the current security scenario and operational preparedness in their respective jurisdictions. The DGP reviewed the existing arrangements and issued directions aimed at enhancing overall coordination, efficiency, and field readiness, police said.
He also instructed officers to maintain communication between adjoining districts for inter-district security coordination and real-time information sharing.
Stressing operational agility and readiness, the DGP directed districts to reinforce their Quick Reaction Teams (QRTs) with improved mobility, training, and equipment. Prabhat also called for modernisation and upgradation of the communication network to ensure “uninterrupted and secure connectivity” across all levels.
The review took place days after the elected government moved its seat to the winter capital, Jammu.
