Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police (DGP) RR Swain Saturday said that with the determination and interoperability of the security forces it is only a matter of time when the terrorists will be killed.
He said that with the support of people, J&K police will not allow terrorists to create an atmosphere of fear, and will defeat them.
Talking to media person here at district police lines on the sidelines of a function to felicitate Special Police Officers (SPOs) and other officials of J&K police who eliminated three hardcore foreign terrorists during an operation in Gundoh area of district Doda, the DGP, as per KNO, said that it is a matter of time when the terrorists will be eliminated.
“An adversary has given us a challenge and they think that through borders they can send foreign terrorists to make the situation volatile again like what was in the past. They are not much in numbers and we are determined to defeat them with the help of the people,” he said.
“It has been observed recently that terrorists took away sheep of locals without paying them the money and through this they want to terrorize the people like what happened in the past but we will not allow this to happen,” the DGP said.
Replying to a question as to what is the way forward for security forces to eliminate the terrorists in Jammu region, the police chief said, “The tactics and the strategy can’t be discussed in an open forum like this as how will you go.”
The DGP expressed happiness on the announcement of five Shaurya Chakras to J&K Police personnel and said, “When we heard that five Shaurya Chakras have been awarded to J&K police personnel, and that too to one Cargo unit of Kashmir for their independent operations, every officer and everyone else is proud of this honour.”
“J&K police is such a fighting unit, such an instrument of anti-terror machine, whose story and contribution the country is coming to know slowly for the last four to five years. I hope that the spirit will continue after getting such recognition from the Indian army and it will take our officers and Jawans to work more in the future and will take the anti-terror war to its logical conclusion,” he added.
Meanwhile, the DGP accompanied by ADGP Law and Order Vijay Kumar and ADGP Jammu zone Anand Jain, was welcomed by DIG Doda-Kishtwar-Ramban range Shridhar Patil, DC Doda Harvinder Singh, SSP Doda Javed Iqbal and others.
The DIG and SSP Doda appraised the DGP about the overall situation of the district, achievement on militancy front and success story of personnel who have recently achieved a major achievement in neutralizing three terrorists in Gandoh area.
The DGP handed over an absorption letter to seven SPOs as constables in J&K police in front of their families, relatives and others and hoped that this will motivate them to work more. (KNO)
