Amit Shah Enforces Strict Border Policy to Combat Illegal Activities

Amit Shah instructed officials to enforce a 'zero tolerance' policy against illegal construction near borders and emphasized monitoring financial transactions in border areas. A comprehensive security strategy involving citizens and security agencies was discussed to address smuggling, infiltration, and economic crimes.

Amit Shah, in a significant move, has issued instructions to uphold a 'zero tolerance' approach towards unlawful constructions within a 15 km radius of India's borders. This directive mandates the demolition of unauthorized structures that have emerged over the years.

During a security review meeting in Bikaner, Shah tasked district magistrates with ensuring the legality of banking transactions in border areas, scrutinizing large businesses, and identifying fraudulent Aadhaar cards. Emphasizing a robust 360-degree security cover in collaboration with the BSF and other agencies, Shah aims to tackle infiltration, smuggling, and other trans-border crimes. He also highlighted the importance of the Vibrant Villages Programme to enhance governance and infrastructure in border regions.

The home ministry has called for thorough investigations into crime networks and drug trafficking sources in Rajasthan's border districts. Amit Shah pushed for the saturation of all government schemes in border areas, with a review slated for two months later to assess progress.
