5.Infrastructure and Welfare Upgrades:

The Poonch district, given its proximity to the Line of Control (LoC), remains a critical zone for security operations. Frequent attempts of infiltration, cross-border shelling, and terror activities necessitate a state of heightened alertness. This review comes amid an evolving security landscape in Jammu and Kashmir, with a renewed focus on countering militancy, securing borders, and improving community relations.
By addressing gaps in equipment, training, and infrastructure, the ADGP’s visit seeks to reinforce the district’s capability to deal with potential threats. His emphasis on intelligence strengthening reflects the growing importance of technology and collaboration in modern policing.
The review also aligns with broader government efforts to enhance the operational efficiency of law enforcement agencies in conflict-prone regions, ensuring safety for civilians and boosting the morale of security personnel.
This strategic evaluation serves as a critical step toward ensuring long-term peace and stability in the region.
