NEW DELHI:

Chairing two high-level review meetings in as many days in the Capital on the security situation in Jammu & Kashmir, he also said the ecosystem of terror in the Union Territory has been weakened due to the sustained and coordinated efforts of the Narendra Modi government.

Noting that sustained and coordinated efforts of the union government resulted in significantly weak terrorism ecosystem in Jammu and Kashmir, Shah directed all security agencies to step up the fight against terrorism by aiming for the 'zero infiltration' goal.

Shah asked all security agencies to take "more stringent action on infiltration and acts of terror with a ruthless approach."

"Our goal should be to uproot the existence of terrorists," he said.
