Kathua SSP Conducts Extensive Border Security Review
In a related development, Kathua Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mohita Sharma conducted an extensive security review and inspection of border areas in Kathua district later on the same day. Accompanied by top police officials, SSP Sharma visited multiple border police outposts, nurseries, and adjoining sensitive zones to assess and strengthen the security apparatus.
Key Security Measures and Directives
During the review, SSP Sharma focused on several critical aspects of border security:
- Enhanced Surveillance: She stressed the fortification of surveillance mechanisms and directed the installation of CCTV cameras at all border police posts and naka points to ensure real-time monitoring capabilities.
- Ground Preparedness: The SSP reviewed the existing security grid and assessed ground preparedness to ensure effective coordination among various agencies deployed along the border.
