New Delhi : Union Home Minister Amit Shah had to cut short the J&K security review meeting on Tuesday, sources told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO).

They said that the meeting has been rescheduled and will be held on Wednesday at 10:30 am in the Parliament as many issues have to be discussed. “The Union Home Minister had to cut short the meeting to be present in the Parliament to attend the Prime Minister’s reply,” sources said.

The security review meeting was called after an ex-serviceman was killed, his wife and niece injured in a terror attack in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district on Monday.

Sources told KNO that J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, Chief Secretary Atal Duloo, Director General of Police (DGP) Nalin Prabhat, top officers of Army, paramilitary forces and intelligence agencies had arrived in New Delhi for the meeting which remained inconclusive and would be held tomorrow.

The officers, according to the sources, were to brief the Union Home Minister about the prevailing situation in J&K and ongoing operations against the terrorists.

The Ministry of Home Affairs has been reiterating that terrorists and their supporters have to be dealt with an iron fist to make J&K terror free.

The MHA has maintained that the policy of zero-tolerance towards terrorism needs to be implemented firmly to make Jammu and Kashmir a terror free region.

The meeting on Wednesday, according to the sources, will also discuss the implementation of the Area Domination Plan and Zero Terror Plan.

It may be recalled that during the last security review meeting held in December last year, the Union Home Minister had directed all security agencies to continue working in a coordinated manner to eliminate terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.

According to the official data accessed by the KNO, Jammu and Kashmir  in  January 2025 recorded the lowest number of killings over the past two decades, with just 3 fatalities—1 security force personnel and 2 terrorists.

The authorities have been maintaining that there has been a significant decline in terrorist incidents, infiltration and recruitment of youth in terrorist organisations.

The heightened security vigilance in the Union Territory has contributed to maintaining law and order stability. “The Union Home Ministry has passed clear instructions to prevent any civilian or security forces personnel killings and has ordered large-scale operations against terrorists.”
