After repeatedly expressing his concern over drugs and weapons being pushed from Pakistan across the border into Indian territory using drones and other means, Governor Banwarilal Purohit will again be visiting the five districts along the International Border in Punjab from February 20. This will be the Governor’s sixth visit to the border areas in the past two-and-a-half years.
Mr. Purohit is slated to visit Pathankot, Gurdaspur, Amritsar, Taran Taran, Ferozepur, and Fazilka districts, where he will hold meetings with Central agencies and State government officials to review the progress made since his previous visit, and to address any new issues.
During his upcoming four-day visit, the Governor is expected to focus on improving coordination between Central and State agencies to eliminate bottlenecks, particularly in border infrastructure, security, and combating smuggling and drug trafficking.
