Amit Shah to review security, development in three-day visit to Jammu from Feb 5-7

Home Minister Amit Shah begins a 3-day Jammu visit to review security, counter-terror ops, and assess development projects in the region.

"The visit highlights the government's dual focus on strengthening security preparedness and ensuring sustained development in the region."

New Delhi, February 5

Union Home Minister Amit Shah is all set to embark on a three-day visit to Jammu from Thursday evening with a packed schedule centred on reviewing the security landscape and assessing development initiatives in the region.

The visit, from February 5 to 7, assumes significance amid continued efforts by the Centre to further strengthen security mechanisms and accelerate infrastructure and welfare projects in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

During his stay, Shah will chair high-level meetings to take stock of the prevailing security scenario, particularly in border areas and other sensitive districts. Senior officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Jammu and Kashmir administration, police, intelligence agencies and central armed police forces are expected to participate in the review meetings. The discussions are likely to focus on counter-terror operations, border management, infiltration attempts, and coordination among security agencies to maintain peace and stability.

Apart from security, the Home Minister will also review the progress of key development projects underway in the Jammu region. The Centre has consistently emphasised fast-tracking infrastructure development, improving connectivity, and strengthening grassroots governance in Jammu and Kashmir. The review is expected to cover the implementation of flagship schemes and ongoing public welfare initiatives.

As part of his itinerary, Shah will visit the Border Security Force's (BSF) Bobia and Gurnam Border Outposts to assess the ground situation along the International Border. He is expected to interact with BSF personnel and commend their role in maintaining vigilance under challenging conditions.

In a significant outreach initiative, the Home Minister will also meet the families of bravehearts who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. During the interaction, Shah will hand over appointment letters to eligible family members under the government's compassionate employment policy, reaffirming the Centre's commitment to supporting the families of fallen heroes.

The visit highlights the government's dual focus on strengthening security preparedness and ensuring sustained development in the region.

Glad to see the focus on development projects as well. It's not just about security. People in Jammu need better roads, schools, and hospitals. Hope this review speeds up the pending infrastructure work. Development and security must go hand in hand.

Meeting the families of our brave soldiers and giving them appointment letters is a noble gesture. We can never repay their sacrifice, but this support is essential. Salute to our forces and their families. 🙏

While high-level visits are good, I hope the outcomes are tangible for local residents. Sometimes these reviews feel like a formality. Would like to see a clear, public timeline for the development projects mentioned.

Visiting the border outposts is key. Our BSF jawans face extreme conditions. Hope the Home Minister takes note of their requirements for better equipment and facilities. Their morale is our first line of defence.

Good to see a comprehensive approach. Security meetings are important, but so is checking on welfare schemes for ordinary people. Hope the benefits of government schemes are actually reaching the last person in the villages of Jammu.
