Communication channels enhanced between armed forces and other agencies in Jammu and Kashmir

The Government of India in coordination with the Jammu & Kashmir ( J&K) government has initiated several measures to enhance the communication channel between the Army and other security forces of Central Government and the State Government for transmitting terrorist alerts in real time.

This is to meet any such future exigencies like the one that happened on September 26, 2013, at Army Camp in Samba and Police Station in Hiranagar in the district Kathua. The measures include strengthening of security apparatus and further fine-tuning them, preparation of standard operating procedures to meet such contingencies, strengthening and institutionalising the communication system, sharing the contact details with different forces at operational level, measures to further plug the possible infiltration routes, dissemination of exchange of information and intelligence at state, district and subdivisional level, according to R.P.N. Singh, Minister of State in the Ministry of Home Affairs.
