New Delhi: In response to the escalating terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, Prime Minister Narendra Modi convened a high-level security meeting on Thursday with key members of the Cabinet Committee on Security, including Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. According to an NDTV report, the Prime Minister directed the full deployment of the armed forces’ counter-terror capabilities.
During the meeting, Prime Minister Modi consulted with Home Minister Amit Shah, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, and Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha. He was briefed on the current security situation, including ongoing counter-terrorism operations conducted by the armed forces.
Earlier today, two army personnel were injured in a gunfight with terrorists in a remote forest village in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district. Despite inclement weather and challenging terrain, security forces have continued their operations.
The gunfight, which lasted more than an hour, took place at Jaddan Bata village in the Kastigarh area around 2 am when terrorists opened fire on a temporary security camp set up in a government school for the ongoing search operations, officials reported.
A defence spokesperson stated that one of the critically injured soldiers was evacuated to the Udhampur-based command hospital by an advanced light helicopter (ALH) despite adverse weather conditions.
“Swift action by ALH from Air Force Station, Udhampur saved a critically injured soldier’s life in Doda (J&K). Despite challenging weather, the evacuation was successful, ensuring timely medical care at Command Hospital, Udhampur. Kudos to the team for their dedication & bravery,” PRO Defence Jammu posted on X (formerly Twitter).
