He said that even during the present health crisis “our forces would continue to consolidate peace while maintaining good security and law and order grids”

Senior police officers attended the meeting through video conferencing.
Singh said that Pakistan agencies were engaged with various activities at their launching pads in Pakistan and Pakistan controlled Kashmir to push in militants into J&K through IB and LoC to further its “nefarious designs of disturbing peace and normalcy and lives and livelihoods of the people” without bothering about its own people who have become Corona victims.
