Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday convened a high-level meeting with deputy commissioners from border districts to review the on-ground situation following intensified cross-border shelling by Pakistani forces.
The meeting comes a day after a similar review chaired by Abdullah to assess the government’s preparedness along the Line of Control (LoC) and other vulnerable border regions in the Union Territory.
In a post on his social media handle, Abdullah said, “Held another meeting today with deputy commissioners of border districts to assess the ground situation. Coordinated efforts are being made to ensure seamless provision of essential facilities.”
He added that adequate medical personnel and resources are being mobilised to ensure timely care for those affected by the hostilities.
On Wednesday, Abdullah said, "Held a meeting to assess the security and preparedness along the border/LoC areas. Emphasis laid on safeguarding civilian lives, strengthening infrastructure, and ensuring swift response to any emerging challenges".
The review meeting was held against the backdrop of Pakistan's indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas in Jammu and Kashmir after Indian armed forces carried out missile strikes in the neighbouring country to target the terror infrastructure there.
