JAMMU, Sept 3: The Director General of Police (DGP), Dilbag Singh, today visited Rajouri and Poonch in Jammu to review the security in the frontier border districts.
He had meetings with police and Army officers, along with AIG (Training/Policy) PHQ, JS Johar.
A statement said that these meetings happened at B G Brigade Headquarters in Mendhar, Poonch, and at Kalakote in Rajouri.
In Mendhar, Poonch, there were officials like DIG Rajouri-Poonch Range Dr Mohammad Haseeb Mughal, Army Commander Brig Deepak Nayak, CO Sambhav Sagar, SSP Poonch Vinay Kumar, and others.
The Kalakote, Rajouri meeting included Madhusudan Guru, CO 63 RR, DIG Rajouri-Poonch Range Dr Mohammad Haseeb Mughal, ASP Nowshera, Rafi Giri, and other officers.
During these meetings, the DGP looked into the security situation in these areas, like attempts by unwanted people to get in, illegal drug trade, and drones coming from the border.
He asked for more security checkpoints on different routes and stronger control over these areas.
He also stressed using modern technology and good information to watch what’s happening at the border and nearby to stop illegal activities.
