Eight senior IPS officers to be posted in 16 Gujarat border villages for security and community review

Gujarat state authorities have decided to station eight senior Indian Police Service officers in sixteen border villages. The deployment aims to strengthen security along the state’s frontiers. Officers will also conduct community reviews to assess local concerns. The move follows reports of cross‑border challenges and crime. Senior IPS officials will oversee policing and coordination in the villages. The initiative seeks to build trust between residents and law enforcement. Officials expect the presence to deter illegal activities and improve safety. The program will be monitored for effectiveness and may be expanded.
