The Chief Minister’s directive comes close on the heels of a similar review meeting held last week in Bikaner under the Chairmanship of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, following his visit to some border areas.
During his visit to Delhi earlier this week, CM Sharma also paid a courtesy call to National Security Adviser Ajit Doval.
Besides border security, Sharma also took stock of the situation regarding the growing menace of drug trafficking and its impact on the youth.
He directed authorities to dismantle organised drug trafficking networks and crush the financial backbone of these mafias and gangs.
The Chief Minister ordered that their economic assets either be attached or their immovable properties demolished.
