Shah said that the Jammu and Kashmir Police conducted an excellent investigation into the explosion that occurred in Delhi. He said that the incident in Delhi happened with 40 kilograms of explosives, while 3 tonnes of explosives were recovered before they could detonate, and the entire team involved in conspiring this plot was apprehended before the Delhi blast could take place. He said that the investigation of this entire network was carried out very effectively by all our agencies.
Through the Pahalgam attack, the terrorists wanted to disrupt the new era of development and tourism that has begun in Kashmir, the home minister said, adding that based on extremely precise intelligence, our forces neutralized all three terrorists, delivering a stern message to Pakistan. He said that this is the first terrorist incident in which those who planned the terrorist act were punished by us through Operation Sindoor, and those who carried out the act with the weapons provided to them were neutralized through Operation Mahadev.
Shah added that the investigations into the Pahalgam and Delhi blast cases are not examples of routine policing, but outstanding instances of watertight investigation. This also serves as a very significant example of how a constantly vigilant officer can save the country from such a massive crisis. The home minister said that we have established a new standard of coordination, cooperation, and communication among the DGP Conference, Security Strategy Conference, N-CORD meetings, and the Anti-Terror Conference. He said that we cannot view these four pillars in isolation; running through them as a common thread is the Anti-Terrorism Conference.
Shah added that the NIA has worked very hard to create a common ATS structure and has sent it to the police forces of the states. He explained that when we establish a common ATS structure across the entire country, it provides us an opportunity for uniform preparation at every level. A common ATS structure for the police across the country is extremely important, and all Director Generals of Police from the states should implement it as soon as possible.
He said that all state ATS units should get into the habit of using NIDAAN and NATGRID. He said that using NIDAAN and NATGRID in investigations ensures that cases are not investigated in isolation, but also brings to light the invisible links in the cases.
