Improve coordination with security forces, Punjab CM asks officials

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday exhorted officials to maintain constant vigil and improve coordination with the security forces.

He said this in view of fresh attempts from across the border to revive terror in the country in the wake of the developments with regard to Jammu and Kashmir.

At a dinner hosted by him for the Punjab IAS Officers' Association at his official residence here, the chief minister pointed out that Punjab, being a border state, was particularly vulnerable.

This, he stressed, necessitated closer synchronisation among various civil and security agencies to ensure the safety of people.

Asserting that his government would not allow Punjab's peace and harmony to be disturbed at any cost, Amarinder Singh said the role of IAS officers had become critical in the current scenario.

He urged the officers to stay on alert and work closely with the security agencies to tackle any eventuality by becoming their eyes and ears in their respective districts.
