Kupwara, Aug 11: Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbag Singh Friday said that Jammu and Kashmir was moving towards peace and development.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of the ‘Meri Matti Meri Desh’ event in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district, the DGP said that J&K was moving towards peace and development and with the efforts of Police, Army, and paramilitary BSF, peace had prevailed in the areas located close to the Line of Control (LoC).
“Now people from across Kashmir want to see these areas located in close proximity to the LoC. People have developed interest to visit areas including Teethwal, Keran, Lolab, Bangus, and Gurez to have a firsthand experience of these places and enjoy the natural beauty,” he said.
Singh said that the recent Muharram processions stand testament to the prevailing peace in Kashmir and even Home Minister Amit Shah mentioned it in the Parliament.
“It is indeed satisfying when people take part in religious and social functions without any fear. Be it security forces or civil administration, every one played a positive role. I thank the Shia community for remaining peaceful while bringing out the Muharram procession,” he said.
About the Independence Day arrangements, the DGP said that adequate arrangements had been put in place in every district.
