“Eliminating terrorism from its roots under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is our collective commitment. We will hunt down the culprits of the Delhi bomb blast even from the depths of the netherworld (patal) and ensure they receive the strictest possible punishment,” Shah said while speaking at the 32nd meeting of the Northern Zonal Council (NZC) in Faridabad.

The meeting was attended by chief ministers of Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Jammu and Kashmir, along with chief secretaries, lieutenant governors, and senior officials. According to a PIB statement, Shah stressed that women and children’s safety must remain a top priority and urged states to increase the number of fast-track courts handling such cases.
