Amit Shah will return to New Delhi on Saturday afternoon after completing a comprehensive assessment of border preparedness, BSF welfare measures, anti-terror operations, and development projects in the Union Territory.
The visit underscores the government’s commitment to safeguarding national security, supporting security personnel, and promoting balanced development across Jammu and Kashmir.
