The Uttarakhand CM on Tuesday convened a review meeting via video conferencing from the Chief Minister's residence in response to the recent political developments occurring in the neighbouring country of Nepal.

According to the release, the meeting was attended by the district administrations of Champawat, Pithoragarh, and Udham Singh Nagar, along with officials from the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) and the state police.

The overall security situation along Uttarakhand's international borders with Nepal was thoroughly reviewed. CM Dhami directed officials to launch intensive checking campaigns along the Nepal border and keep strict watch on the activities of any anti-social or disruptive elements.

He further emphasised the need for continuous monitoring of social media to curb the spread of rumours, misleading information, or provocative content, ensuring timely action when necessary.

He instructed the district administrations to maintain constant coordination with central security agencies and the SSB. He also stressed that surveillance systems should be strengthened through the collective participation of local villagers, gram committees, police forces, and forest department officials in the border areas.

He added that all entry routes along the borders must be regularly monitored, and special vigilance should be exercised on cross-border movement.
