The CISF DG also chaired a high-level security review meeting attended by senior officers of the CISF, CRPF, ITBP, J&K Police and the civil administration to assess the overall security architecture and operational preparedness. He expressed confidence that the security forces would continue to ensure the smooth, safe and incident-free conduct of the yatra.
