According to him, recent initiatives undertaken by the state government, including the deployment of modern security assets and improved coordination among security agencies, are already yielding positive results in the fight against insecurity.

The Deputy Governor stressed that, border communities should not be viewed solely from a security perspective but should also be recognized as centres of economic opportunities and social integration capable of contributing significantly to national development.
