He directed states to ensure the smooth operation of essential services and maintain uninterrupted supply chains. Additionally, he urged vigilance against anti-national propaganda on social and other media platforms, recommending prompt action in coordination with state governments and central agencies.

The Home Minister also instructed states to keep disaster response forces, civil defence, home guards, and the National Cadet Corps on alert. He stressed the importance of maintaining seamless communication and enhancing the security of vulnerable points across the country.
