JAMMU, Feb 1
Shiv Sena Hindustan J&K President Pt Rajesh Kesri in a press conference in Jammu today appreciated Govt’s policy of zero tolerance against terrorism and its approach to dismantle the terror eco-system. Addressing media persons, Kesri said that security measures are being strengthened to sustain peace and stability in J&K. The strategies adopted and actions taken in this regard include round-the-clock nakas at strategic points, group security in the form of static guards, intensified Cordon and Search Operations (CASO) to effectively deal with the challenges posed by terrorist organizations, sharing of intelligence inputs on a real-time basis, amongst all security forces, operating in Jammu and Kashmir.
Kesri also welcomed other strategies include day & night area domination, security arrangements through appropriate deployment, preventive operations involve identifying the strategic supporters of terrorism and initiating investigations to expose their mechanisms of aiding and abetting terrorism, identifications of vulnerable spots to prevent terrorist attacks on civilians and sensitizing men on the ground about the issue and initiation of measures to defeat the machination of terrorists or their mentors. The abrogation of Article 370 marked a transformative phase for the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K), witnessing comprehensive changes across development, security and socio-economic dimensions.
Kesri however demanded government to start sharing intelligence inputs on a real-time basis among security forces operating in the region, undertake preventive operations to identify supporters of terrorism and initiate investigations against them and also resort to efforts to identify vulnerable spots to prevent terrorist attacks on people, among other strategies. He urged youth of Jammu and Kashmir who have lost their way to return to the mainstream. The mainstream is their parents and family. The main stream is their contribution to development of Jammu and Kashmir, added Kesri. He said terrorism in the Union Territory was taking its last breaths as J&K Police making sure that the menace of terrorism is eliminated completely.
Kesri said that Pakistan was still trying to derail the peace process but the police will make sure that such efforts don’t succeed.”More than 1600 security personnel have sacrificed their lives in last three decades fighting terrorism in the Valley. Pakistan has been pushing and promoting terror here and the sacrifice of our forces has led to the results and that’s why terrorism is breathing its last in the valley. Jammu and Kashmir will soon be terror-free, and we salute each and every martyr who laid down their lives for the country and peace,” said Kesri.
