During the meeting, Shah emphasised the need to establish a robust port security framework nationwide. He directed that security measures be implemented in a graded, risk-based manner, taking into account vulnerabilities, trade potential, location, and other relevant parameters.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah has convened a meeting for the constitution of a dedicated body, the Bureau of Port Security (BoPS), for the security of vessels and port facilities.
The Central Government will soon put together the Bureau of Port Security towards upgrading security across all ports in the country, informed Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways (MoPSW) and AYUSH Sarbananda Sonowal on Saturday.
