A crucial high-level security review for Jammu and Kashmir is slated for October 9, 2025, in New Delhi, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah at the helm. The meeting will delve into the current security dynamics of the Union Territory, with a specific focus on winter preparedness and the emerging threat landscape. Reports of a significant alliance between Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) are expected to be a major point of discussion.
Shah is poised to urge security agencies to adopt a more stringent approach towards terror financing. Directives will likely be issued for immediate action against the illicit proceeds from narcotics that are being channeled into terrorism. Strategies to counter the negative narrative being propagated by anti-national elements will also be a key area of focus, aiming to provide a truthful account of the situation.
The security scenario in the Pir Panjal region, which has seen a recent surge in terrorist activities, will be subjected to a detailed examination. The directive for security forces will be to vigorously pursue the goal of zero infiltration along the international borders. The potential threat posed by the reported LeT-ISKP collaboration, allegedly supported by Pakistan’s ISI from Balochistan, will be a critical topic for formulating a unified counter-strategy.
Enhanced synergy and operational coordination among the Indian Army, BSF, CRPF, Intelligence Bureau, and Jammu and Kashmir Police will be strongly emphasized. Furthermore, updates on the efforts to dismantle the terror network responsible for the April 2025 Pahalgam attack will be provided. The progress of crucial development projects intended to secure long-term peace and stability will also be reviewed.
