A coordination meeting of central and state agencies, led by the SSB, discussed sharing intelligence on smuggling and anti-national activities near the India-Nepal border. Over 230 SSB companies are also deployed, with 145 already in place. Security agencies have intensified inspections to stop illegal liquor and cash movement.
