Gujarat CM Patel chairs high-level security review

Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel chaired a high-level security review meeting on Friday at the State Emergency Operation Centre (SEOC) in Gandhinagar. The meeting focused on assessing the state’s preparedness, particularly in sensitive border and coastal regions. Senior officials from the Home Department, Disaster Management Authority, and State Police briefed the Chief Minister on ongoing coordination efforts, emergency response mechanisms, and security deployments in light of the heightened threat environment.
Key attendees included Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghavi, Director General of Police Vikas Sahay, Chief Secretary Pankaj Joshi, Revenue Additional Chief Secretary Jayanti Ravi, Relief Commissioner Alok Kumar Pandey, and senior representatives from the Border Security Force (BSF), Indian Coast Guard, and the Army, Navy, and Air Force units stationed in Gujarat. District collectors, police chiefs, and officials from various state departments also joined the meeting via video conference to ensure a coordinated response across all administrative levels.
Security agencies remain on high alert across Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, and Jammu and Kashmir, as Pakistan reportedly escalates its provocations in response to India’s recent targeted missile strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. These strikes were conducted following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives.
