Highlighting the importance of the measures to be adopted post-militant attack, Mr Kumar directed officers to formulate proper SOPs so that all proactive measures are adopted immediately which include CASOs, placing cut-off points on exit routes, use of drones etc. to avoid the escape of culprits/suspects.
