CRPF Director General G.P. Singh visited the forward areas in Rajouri distirct and reviewed the troops' operational preparedness

The Director General of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) G.P. Singh assessed the security situation and the force's operational readiness during a recent two-day tour of the forward areas in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district, officials reported on Friday (February 7, 2025).

“On Thursday, he visited Rajouri and Poonch districts, and on Friday, he visited Udhampur, Kathua, and Jammu districts,” a CRPF officer stated.

On Wednesday, Union home minister Amit Shah had given explicit instructions to the security forces to ensure zero infiltration and eliminate the remaining terrorists from Jammu and Kashmir.

The CRPF also shared information about the DG’s visit on X. “Where Duty Meets Leadership! Shri @gpsinghips, DG #CRPF, visited B/121 Bn at Machedi, Kathua, to evaluate operational readiness and engage with troops. Interacting with on-ground commanders and jawans, he discussed security challenges, administrative issues, and logistical requirements—ensuring they have what they need to excel in their mission,” CRPF posted on X.

Another post stated, “In the Ranks, Among the Brave! During his visit to Jammu, Shri @gpsinghips, DG #CRPF, reached G/187 Bn at Dudu, Udhampur. He addressed the troops in a Sainik Sammelan, exploring operational, administrative, and personnel matters—boosting their morale and strengthening the warrior camaraderie in uniform.”

“During his two-day visit, the DG chaired meetings for a comprehensive security review of the current situation in these five districts,” said the officer.

DG CRPF’s visit to Machedi is significant in light of DGP Nalin Prabhat’s visit to the tri-junction of Kathua, Doda, and Udhampur districts on January 23.

Prabhat visited strategically important areas of Basantgarh to conduct a thorough operational review.
