Eight senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officers are set to spend two days in 16 villages along Gujarat’s border with Pakistan next week. The visit, scheduled for June 11 and 12, aims to evaluate security readiness and engage with residents directly. The officers will stay in local homes as part of this initiative guided by Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi.
The villages to be covered are in the Vav-Tharad border region, along with parts of Patan and Kutch districts. The program focuses on enhancing security along Gujarat’s international and inter-state borders. It also involves assessing the welfare and addressing concerns of people in remote border areas. The officers will conduct on-ground security assessments, interact with police personnel in challenging locations, and hold meetings with local residents.
The program includes inspections of border patrolling operations, night-time review meetings, and discussions on security-related issues affecting the region. Senior officers like Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Wabang Zamir and Inspector General of Police (IGP) Bipin Shankarrao Ahire will visit specific villages in the designated districts. The officers are expected to stay overnight in the villages assigned to them, making this a comprehensive field exercise focusing on security infrastructure and community-law enforcement communication.
