The visit aimed to evaluate readiness and strengthen the security grid in response to the prevailing regional scenario. Lakhera emphasized the need for continuous vigilance, effective area domination, and improved coordination with civil authorities.

Simultaneously, CRPF Director General G. P. Singh held meetings in Imphal to assess the state's law and order status. Singh met with Lieutenant General Lakhera to discuss inter-force synergy and joint operational readiness. The leaders established a roadmap intended to sustain peace and public order across the state.
