An official account dated November 7, 2026, said Union Home Minister Amit Shah chaired a security review in Ahmedabad with Gujarat leaders and officials. Discussions covered policing, border protection, coastal security and the rollout of new criminal laws.
According to the account, Shah called for stronger surveillance and closer cooperation between security agencies. He instructed Gujarat to organise a campaign addressing a forensic backlog exceeding 25,000 cases. On drugs, he urged investigators to pursue network leaders and prioritise financial inquiries aimed at seizing illicit assets.
The account also reported directions to expand cybercrime response capacity and strengthen counterterrorism agencies. It credited special operations with deporting 2,412 foreign nationals described as being in India illegally. Further instructions concerned faster deportation procedures, disaster preparedness, fire safety and Ahmedabad flood-management work; the account did not establish completion of those measures.
