"Modi govt working for development of J-K": BJP leader Tarun Chugh

Jammu (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], April 7 (ANI): Following Union Home Minister Amit Shah's visit to Jammu and Kashmir, Bharatiya Janata Party National General Secretary Tarun Chugh on Sunday said that the Union government is working for the development of the Union Territory.
"A meeting was held with the party MLAs... BJP won 29 seats from here, so all the party MLAs wanted to meet him, which is why the meeting took place on Sunday. All the MLAs expressed their gratitude that the country's government, Modi's government, is working very well for the development of Jammu-Kashmir," Chugh told ANI.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah arrived at Raj Bhawan in Jammu on Sunday for a two-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir (J-K).
He was received at the airport by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha.

In a post on X, J-K LG Sinha said, "Welcomed Hon'ble Union Home and Cooperation Minister Shri Amit Shah Ji on his arrival at Jammu."
During his visit, Shah will chair a high-level security review meeting in the Union Territory to assess the current law and order scenario.
Senior officials from the J-K Police, Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), and intelligence agencies will likely attend the meeting.
Discussions are expected to focus on counter-terrorism operations, cross-border infiltration attempts, and the overall security landscape in Jammu and Kashmir.
In addition to the review meeting, the Home Minister is also expected to visit forward areas along the International Border to inspect security arrangements and boost the morale of the forces stationed there.
This visit comes against the backdrop of heightened efforts to combat terrorism and enhance border security.
Shah's visit to the Union Territory is significant considering the recent terror activities in the Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir that deteriorated the peace and tranquil atmosphere in the region.
The Home Minister's previous visit to Jammu and Kashmir in October 2022 marked a significant moment. During this visit, he announced several developmental projects and emphasised the government's commitment to bringing peace and stability to the region.
He also held extensive discussions with political leaders, security officials, and local representatives to address regional concerns.
Since the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019, the government has intensified its counter-terrorism operations and launched various initiatives to bolster infrastructure and development in the region.
Shah's visit is seen as a continuation of these efforts, with a focus on strengthening security mechanisms and ensuring the safety of civilians. (ANI)
