Jammu Tawi, Jun 13: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday said better coordination by security agencies is needed to deal with continuous attempts by outside forces to foment trouble in J&K and to completely destroy the “terror ecosystem in UT”.
Sinha said the Government has a clear-cut policy on dealing with terrorism – “not to spare any militant and not to touch any innocent”.
The LG said that terrorists and their supporters should be handed out the same punishment. “Attempts by outside forces (to foment trouble in Jammu and Kashmir) are continuing. There is a need for strong action in the hinterland as well as on the borders”, Sinha told army personnel at a function organised in connection with the golden jubilee of the Indian Army's 16 Crops here.
He said that apart from dealing with (infiltrating) terrorists on the borders, troops have to be ready to crush them in the hinterland. “They (terrorists) are out to cause destruction in the society at the behest of the neighbouring country. To deal with them, you have to increase your potential and vigilance along with better coordination with all security agencies”, he said. “Our enemies are making desperate attempts to create unrest in J&K through drug trafficking, smuggling of arms through drones and through social media but government's determination and the indomitable courage of our Police and Security forces will not let the enemies outside and within our borders succeed,” the Lt Governor asserted.
Asserting that the Government is committed to “stamping out terrorism” from Jammu and Kashmir, he called upon agencies to ensure the destruction of this “eco-system”.
“Our resolve should be to ensure an assault on full ecosystem”, he said. He referred to attempts to foment trouble in J-K, saying social media is being used from across the border and drones were being sent.
“We are committed to ensuring the safety and security of people, unity and integrity of the nation and harmony”, he said while lauding the forces for improving the security situation in J-K.
He said that Jammu and Kashmir will regain its glory and reach the pinnacle of progress.
