Govt will soon liberate J&K of terror: LG Manoj Sinha

Jammu, Mar 17: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Tuesday said that the government is working on a strategy that would soon liberate Jammu and Kashmir of terror.

Addressing the passing out parade of the constables at the STC Talwara in Reasi, LG Sinha said, “With all resources and resolve, J&K Police is pursuing zero tolerance to terrorism. We are working on a multi-pronged strategy with all the stakeholder agencies and soon J&K will be terror-free.”

He said that any individual or group that seeks to threaten the peace, law and order, or the safety of innocent civilians in J&K would have to pay a very heavy price.

The LG said that any attempt to disrupt public peace, undermine commercial activity, or incite violence should be met with the full force of the law and J&K Police was unequivocal in its commitment to safeguard order and stability, and should pursue all necessary measures against such acts, without exception.

Congratulating the J&K Police on their successful completion of the tough training, he called upon them to focus on protecting J&K’s achievements.

“J&K Police has been instrumental in forging a terror-free, crime-free J&K where no insecurity overshadows civilian lives. The force has played a pivotal role in achieving remarkable milestones in good governance, innovation, social unity, and building a just society. We must uproot separatist elements which are trying to divide people and derail development. Let this serve as their stern warning,” LG Sinha said.

He said that every woman or man donning the J&K Police uniform pledges to exceed public expectations with superior standards.

“From today, public trust is your greatest asset, but earn it relentlessly through integrity, impartiality, and empathy. Your role transcends enforcing law. Embody its spirit and soul. I trust you will uphold every citizen’s dignity in protection,” the LG said.

He said that J&K Police stand fully committed to peace, security, and democratic values, ensuring every citizen scales new height of progress in tranquillity.

A total of 430 trainee constables passed out after their basic training and all trainees were administered the oath.

On the occasion, LG Sinha awarded trophies to the trainee constables who excelled during their training including Johnny Victor (all-round best), Vishal Bharat (second all-round best), Yogesh Sharma (third all-round best), Pankaj Raina (indoor best), Touseef Ahmed Lone (outdoor best), Tahir Rashid Dar (best marksman), Tasleem Kosar (parade commander), and Sushant Sharma (parade 2nd-in-command).
