REASI: In the wake of the recent infiltration bids on the Line of Control (LoC), especially in neighbouring Rajouri district, Police recently launched a two-day inter-police-station area-domination operation in Reasi and other adjoining districts, which had history of militancy.
Sharing details, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Reasi, Shailendra Singh, said troops from three police stations – Arnas, Pouni and Ransoo – tracked uphill from different sides while the members of the Village Defence Committees (VDCs) from Fargal, Mujah, Gulzara, Khori, Kotla, Ikhni, Gool, Raskeen and Bharkh also participated in the operation. “The area-domination exercise culminated at Ikhni Top Ransoo,” he said. During the said exercise, the SSP reviewed the preparedness of the troops and VDCs to tackle any untoward incident.
Singh expressed concerns about the militancy-related activities in the adjoining district of Rajouri and possibility of its spill over in Reasi and directed the jawans to remain vigilant and proactive on this front. Officials were also briefed to work with zeal and dedication to curb the menace of bovine smuggling, narcotics and other crimes and take special care about the security of vital installations and religious places.
Local residents, meanwhile, while interacting with SSP Reasi, put forth various issues faced by them on a daily basis. He ensured that the issues pertaining to police shall be redressed on priority and those pertaining to other departments shall be brought into their notice at the earliest. People were also asked to work for maintenance of communal harmony, brotherhood and peace in the area.
Further people were also briefed to observe Covid-19-appropriate behavior and to go for 100 percent Covid vaccination.
