The meeting was attended by senior officials, including Additional Director General of Police (Law & Order) Vijay Kumar and Inspector General of Police (Kashmir) Vidhi Kumar Birdi.

In the aftermath of the terror attack, LG Sinha announced financial support for the victims’ families. He stated that Rs 6 lakh would be given to the next of kin of each deceased civilian, along with an immediate sum of Rs 15 lakh provided by the APCO Infratech company.

On October 22, Sinha visited Gagangir to interact with officers and workers from the Project Implementing Agency and to review security measures at the project site. During his visit, he chaired another meeting with officials from the police, civil administration, and various security agencies.
