Directs senior police officials, SSPs to follow zero tolerance policy to tackle terrorism

Srinagar, Feb 12: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor (LG) Manoj Sinha Wednesday said that J&K Police and security forces were given a free hand to neutralise terror ecosystem operating in the shadows.

While chairing a high level security meeting in Srinagar to review the security scenario in Kashmir Division, LG Manoj Sinha said those supporting and financing terrorism will have to pay a very heavy price.

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

Earlier, the DGP Nalin Prabhat briefed the chair regarding the present security scenario of the valley and the roadmap put in place to counter the various security challenges like counter insurgency, law & order, protection of minorities, terrorist recruitment etc. at zonal, range and district level.

IGP Kashmir also gave a detailed presentation highlighting the challenges and the achievements of the Kashmir Zone and strategic foresight for the future.

The LG Lieutenant Governor took appraisal of the working of various wings of J&K Police and expressed his satisfaction with regard to the crime related performance indices especially related to UAPA and NDPS.

The LG directed the senior police officials and head 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.

“Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, J&K 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 LG said

He said 360-degree approach against terrorism was critical to enhance the capability and performance in all dimensions of security challenges.

The LG also asked the police officials to strictly follow the policy of property attachment in terror and narco-terror cases.

The LG directed the officials to devise a result-oriented strategy to identify and neutralize foreign terrorists active in the Kashmir valley.

He called for systematic attention to terror ecosystem, which is providing support to adversarial forces and terrorists.

The LG also discussed the challenges of disinformation and propaganda and directed the officials to take firm action against those involved.

“Strict action must be taken against the elements exploiting cyber space to carry out their disruptive activities and disinformation campaign. We must aggressively counter fundamentalist and extremist ideas and take action as per the law,” the LG said.
