JAMMU, JUNE 16: Gratefully acknowledging cooperation and support of the people, without which no police can ever be successful, the Director General of Police, J&K, R.R. Swain requested the people to closely see and examine the suspicious movements and truthfully report the details to avoid and reduce the chances of chasing wrong leads because the number of police and security personnel are limited.
The DGP along with ADGP Jammu Zone Shri Anand Jain and DIG JSK Range Dr Sunil Gupta visited the Kathua district on Saturday and was received by the SSP Kathua Anayat Ali Choudhary and other jurisdictional officers. He took stock of the security measures in the aftermath of the successful encounter on June 11.
He visited Hiranagar Police Station and addressed the police personnel and lauded their role in the recent gunfight. He assured Police leaders that all types of logistics viz bulletproof vehicles, night vision devices, arms ammunition and modern gadgets are being provided.
During the meeting at PS Hiranagar with the Sarpanchs, Panchs, Nambardars, Chowkidars of the area, the DGP expressed his appreciation for the assistance being provided to the Jammu and Kashmir Police in the ongoing fight against terrorism.
Gratefully acknowledging the people’s cooperation and support in sharing the vital information regarding the suspicious movement of anti-national elements, the DGP requested them to make people aware to closely see and examine the suspicious movements and truthfully report the details to avoid and reduce the chances of chasing wrong leads because number of police and security personnel are limited.
The Jammu and Kashmir Police with other security forces is responding to each and every piece of intelligence seriously, and is working tirelessly to achieve desired results, he added. In addressing the concerns raised regarding the VDC members, the DGP assured that these issues would be prioritised and addressed promptly.
While addressing the media, the DGP said that it is a well known fact that the prevailing challenges are backed & sponsored from across the border, as the wicked forces seek to maintain their foothold in the region and the recent terror incidents are desperate attempts of terror handlers to maintain their sources of illicit business.
He said that for over a decade, these nefarious elements have attempted numerous times to re-establish their sinister structure along the border areas adding that the number of active terrorists are very low yet they remain a persistent threat as their only aim is to harm people of J&K whatever way possible. However, our strategic and tactical approach is to minimize the impact of their nefarious actions and ultimately put an end to terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
He said that we have clear direction from the Central & UT Governments to further strengthen the anti-terror grid and to eradicate terrorism from the region of Jammu and Kashmir. The DGP reiterated that anyone found to be supporting or collaborating with these terrorist groups will face strict and severe consequences.
