Officials briefed Amit Shah on the current security conditions and readiness to respond to terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.

Since June 9, terrorist attacks in Reasi, Kathua, and Doda have resulted in the deaths of nine pilgrims, one CRPF jawan, and injuries to a civilian and at least seven security personnel. Authorities are focusing on increased security measures to protect the people of J&K, including Amarnath Yatra pilgrims, and maintain peace and order in the state.
