SRINAGAR: Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kashmir zone, Vijay Kumar Friday said that local boys joining militancy was a “serious concern” for the security forces and many steps have been taken to plug the local terrorist recruitment while more “hard work” was needed.
IGP Kashmir while talking to the media at District Police Lines Srinagar on the occasion of “National Anti-Terrorism Day”, saying, “Our motive is not just to kill a terrorist but to end militancy as well to secure the environment for the people of Kashmir.”
The IGP said a “series of steps have already been taken to prevent locals from joining militancy”. “We delay encounters by two to three hours only to allow local boys surrender.
There is a need for more hard-work and efforts to keep boys away from the militancy,” he said. He said a “vast network of OGWs has already been busted and motivators are being tracked down”.
