Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha Wednesday chaired a high-level meeting in Srinagar to review the security scenario in Kashmir Division.

On the Valley’s security establishment, the LG said a 360-degree approach against terrorism is “critical to enhance the capability and performance” in all dimensions of security challenges.

Jammu & Kashmir is witnessing an era of peace, progress and prosperity. I have full faith in your valour, effective, focused measures and better institutional arrangements to make Jammu Kashmir terror-free. Improved intelligence generation, coordination and precision in anti-terror operations are vital to meet the future security challenges,” the L-G said.

Sinha directed senior police officials and heads of its various wings to work in close synergy with each other and intensify the efforts to crush terrorism and those aiding and abetting terrorists. Sinha also directed police officials to strictly follow the policy of property attachment in terror and narco-terror cases.

DGP J&K Nalin Prabhat briefed the meeting on the Valley’s security scenario and the roadmap put in place to counter challenges such as counter-insurgency, law and order, protection of minorities, terrorist recruitment among other security concerns at zonal, range and district levels.

In a statement, Raj Bhawan said the LG directed the officials to plan a result-oriented strategy to identify and neutralise foreign terrorists active in the Kashmir valley. He called for “systematic attention” to the terror ecosystem, which is providing support to adversarial forces and terrorists.

“You must follow a zero-tolerance policy to tackle terrorism. I have given J&K Police and Security Forces a free hand to neutralise the terror ecosystem operating in the shadows. Those supporting and financing terrorism will have to pay a very heavy price,” Sinha said.
