UNION Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday directed all security agencies to intensify their fight against terrorism to achieve the goal of "zero infiltration" across Jammu and Kashmir. Chairing a high-level meeting to review the security situation in J&K, Shah reaffirmed the government's commitment to eradicating terrorism from the region.

Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and top police officials attended the meeting. "We are committed under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to wiping out terrorism from Jammu and Kashmir. Therefore, step up the fight against terrorism with the goal of zero infiltration," Shah said.

After reviewing the inputs shared by J&K officials, Shah said, "Our goal should be to stamp out terrorism. Additionally, terror funding through the proceeds of the narcotics trade must be curbed with urgency and rigour."
