In his opening remarks, Deputy Governor Gubana conveyed Governor Buni’s deep appreciation for the security operatives’ dedicated work.
He announced a significant decline in major security incidents, attributing the improved security landscape directly to their efforts.
“The state is experiencing a notable period of peace, not only from the cycle of insurgency but also from other criminal activities such as banditry and kidnapping,” Gubana stated.
He emphasised that the primary objective of the meeting was to build upon this hard-won progress.
However, he maintained that key challenges persist, specifically naming the conflicts between farmers and herders, alongside other criminal acts including rape.
According to the Deputy Governor, the state government and security chiefs are committed to implementing refined and robust approaches to reduce and ultimately eradicate these issues, ensuring the safety and security of all residents.
