The Chief Minister directed officials to launch intensive checking campaigns along the Nepal border and to keep a close watch on the activities of any anti-social or disruptive elements.

He instructed the district administration to maintain constant coordination and communication with central security agencies and the SSB. He further directed that surveillance systems be strengthened through collective efforts involving local villagers, village committees in border areas, police personnel, and forest department officials.

The Chief Minister also stated that all entry points near the border must be regularly monitored, and special vigilance should be exercised over cross-border movement. He instructed that all security-related guidelines issued by the Government of India be strictly followed and also ordered the deployment of additional security forces wherever necessary.
