In light of the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming visit to Bihar, the Police Headquarters has placed all districts in the state on high alert and issued directives for heightened vigilance. Instructions have been given to intensify surveillance and ensure round-the-clock patrolling, particularly in border districts adjacent to Nepal and Bangladesh.
Enhanced security measures have also been implemented at key tourist destinations such as Patna, Bodh Gaya, and Rajgir. Airports in Patna and Darbhanga have been asked to step up their security protocols. According to sources, Director General of Police (DGP) Vinay Kumar conducted a detailed review of the state’s security preparedness during a two-hour video conference with Superintendents of Police from border districts on Wednesday.
Senior officers have been directed to seek assistance from security and additional forces as needed. Top officials from the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) have also been consulted regarding border security. All border districts have been instructed to maintain 24-hour surveillance and carry out thorough checks of individuals crossing into Bihar.
