With Defence Minister Rajnath Singh scheduled to visit Jammu on Tuesday, security forces, including the police, have been placed on high alert.

Singh is set to visit the Tanda Artillery Brigade in Akhnoor to attend the 9th Armed Forces Veteran’s Day, an event being organised under the aegis of the Northern Command to honour “Armed Forces veterans and Veer Naris.”

Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan, Northern Army Commander Lt Gen Suchindra Kumar and GOC White Knight Corps, Lt Gen Navin Sachdeva, will also participate in the event.

To ensure tight security, the Jammu and Kashmir Police have enhanced their vigilance. Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Jammu Division, Anand Jain, has been holding meetings with senior officials across the region.

ADGP Jain recently visited the districts of Kathua and Samba to reinforce the border and security management gridand along the International Border (IB).

“In light of the VVIP visit, the current security situation and the upcoming Republic Day 2025, I conducted a late-night review of security and border management measures in the Samba and Kathua districts on Sunday and Monday,” said an official. During his inspection, the ADGP stressed the need for maintaining peace in the area. He urged officials to remain vigilant and proactive.
