The meeting was attended by Deputy Commissioner Udhampur Saloni Rai (IAS), DIG Udhampur-Reasi Range Sarah Rizvi, SSP Udhampur Amod Ashok Nagpure, and other officials from the Army, Police, and District Administration.
Singh stressed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is monitoring the situation in Jammu and Kashmir. He further added that whatever decision would be taken it would be in the best interest of the public.
“Overall, I feel that we do not need to worry or panic under the leadership of Modi…the home ministry and defence ministry are taking a very thoughtful decision based on their inputs and we believe that whatever decisions are taken by the government would be taken in the best interest of the public. We should be assured of that,” the minister said.
In his Mann Ki Baat on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed to deliver the “toughest” punishment to terrorists and assured justice to the victims.
Meanwhile, taking strong action against Pakistan in the wake of the terrorist attack, India cancelled the visas of all the Pakistani nationals with immediate effect from April 27. Centre also suspended the Indus Waters Treaty and closed the Attari Border.
