In the meeting, which is scheduled for the afternoon, the home minister is to review the functioning of the security grid and various aspects related to security as well as development initiatives in the Union Territory.

 

It is learnt that the home minister will review the area domination plan, zero terror plan, law and order situation, cases related to UAPA and other security-related issues.

Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, chief secretary Atal Dulloo, and director general of police RR Swain would be present in the meeting, sources said.

The meeting will also be attended by national security advisor Ajit Doval, Union home secretary Ajay Bhalla, Intelligence Bureau director Tapan Deka, director generals of police of Central Reserve Police Force and the Border Security Force besides officers concerned of the ministry of home affairs and Jammu and Kashmir.

The Centre had notified a New Central Sector Scheme for Industrial Development of Jammu and Kashmir in 2021 with an outlay of Rs 28, 400 crore to boost industrial development.

The home minister may review the development projects of the Union Territory.

He had also said that a 360-degree security mechanism would be further strengthened to eliminate the support and information system of terrorists.
