The virtual meeting focused on national preparedness and response after the successful execution of Operation Sindoor, India’s decisive retaliation against cross-border terrorism.
NEW DELHI- Union Home Minister Amit Shah chaired a crucial security review meeting today with the Chief Ministers and Lieutenant Governors of border states adjoining Pakistan and Nepal, following the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir.
The virtual meeting focused on national preparedness and response after the successful execution of Operation Sindoor, India’s decisive retaliation against cross-border terrorism.
Operation Sindoor, conducted by the Indian Armed Forces in the intervening night of May 6-7, targeted nine identified terrorist locations, resulting in the destruction of key training camps, arms depots, and hideouts linked to groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and Hizbul Mujahideen. Shah described it as a “befitting reply” to the perpetrators and a testament to the Modi government’s zero-tolerance policy against terrorism.

- Ensure uninterrupted essential services and supplies
- Monitor and act swiftly against anti-national propaganda on social media
- Strengthen security at vulnerable points and enhance public awareness
Shah also stressed coordinated action between local administrations, security forces, and NGOs, urging states to avoid spreading panic and instead promote informed vigilance.
