Amit Shah to arrive in Jammu today, first visit after Operation Sindoor
Union Home Minister Amit Shah is arriving in Jammu on Thursday evening for a two-day visit to J&K, the first after Operation Sindoor.
During his visit, Amit Shah will address the BSF jawans at their Unit Headquarters at Khanetar and meet the families affected by Pakistan shelling at Dak Bungalow in Poonch on May 30.
He will also distribute appointment letters to the next of kin of those killed in the shelling.
Officials said the Union Home Minister will visit religious places targeted by Pakistani cross-border shelling.
He will reach here in the evening and will hold a high-level review of the security situation with Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha and top officials of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), the army, paramilitary forces, police, intelligence agencies and civil administration.
The situation during ongoing Operation Sindoor, besides the security scenario, including anti-terror operations and anti-infiltration grid, will also come up for high-level review at the meeting.
Amarnath Yatra arrangements will also figure prominently during the security review meeting.
On Friday, Amit Shah will leave for the border district of Poonch where he is scheduled to address the BSF jawans as well as civilians badly affected by Pakistan shelling on the intervening night of May 7 and 8 soon after Indian Armed Forces targeted nine terror infrastructures deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Amit Shah will address the civilians affected by Pakistan's shelling at Poonch Dak Bungalow and the BSF soldiers at their Unit Headquarters at Khanetar, about nine kilometres from Poonch town.
Thirteen civilians, including four children, two of them siblings, were killed by Pakistan's shelling in Poonch district. In retaliation for Indian armed forces carrying out precision-guided targeted strikes on terror infrastructure, the Pakistan Army targeted civilian facilities in Poonch, Rajouri, Baramulla, Kupwara and Bandipora districts.
Indian response was promoted by the April 22 terror attack in Baisaran meadow of Pahalgam in which 26 civilians, including 25 tourists and a local, were killed after segregating them on the basis of religion.

Trump said Pak gave ‘nothing but lies'. So why is he rewarding it?
Trump said Pak gave 'nothing but lies'. So why is he rewarding it? Sachin Parasher TNN May 30, 2025, 17:20 IST IST Despite once slamming Pakistan for deceit and terror links, Trump's muddled response to India's Operation Sindoor — from backing Modi to proposing mediation — risks alienating a key US ally and reviving Cold War-era hyphenation that India rejects outright Not even one year into his first term as president, Donald Trump famously said that the US foolishly gave Pakistan more than $33bn in aid over 15 years, and all Pakistan gave in return was nothing but lies and deceit, thinking of 'our leaders as fools'. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, added Trump in a post on what was then called Twitter. Cut to 2025 and probe how Trump, more confident and uncompromising in his second term, fared in dealing with India's Operation Sindoor that, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, set out a new normal — nuclear blackmail won't shield terrorists and Pakistan Army will have hell to pay the next time it uses its terror toolkit against India.

After Operation Sindoor commenced, Pakistan launched a swarm of drone and missile attacks on Indian territory. On May 10, a ceasefire between the two countries was announced after the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) of the Islamic State contacted his Indian counterpart.
