Besides discussing the security situation and ongoing mega-development projects, the Lieutenant Governor briefed the Prime Minister on the successful conduct of the Amarnath Yatra, a critical annual pilgrimage that attracts thousands of devotees to the region. Enhanced coordination among security forces, the local administration, and community leaders played a pivotal role in maintaining law and order during the Yatra. This collaboration reflects the administration’s strong commitment to safeguarding religious harmony and promoting tourism in Jammu and Kashmir.

There is no doubt that the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir had an excellent report card to present. The meeting was distinguished by a detailed presentation on the progress and success of key government campaigns—most notably the pioneering Nasha Mukt Jammu Kashmir (NMJK) campaign—as well as the unveiling of new projects aimed at accelerating growth and stability in the Union Territory. The Pad-Yatra against the drug menace, which has served as an example for the rest of the country, was praised by PM Modi. During the meeting, the LG presented figures revealing a steep decline in drug addiction in Jammu and Kashmir.
