JAMMU, Feb 28: While expressing serious concern over recent attacks on civilians in Kashmir including a former Panchayat member and a bank security guard namely- Sanjay Kumar in district Pulwama of Kashmir division, All Jammu and Kashmir Panchayat Conference(AJKPC) has urged the Government of India to take stringent action against the culprits and given them unprecedented punishment for their heinous acts against the humanity.
While addressing a press conference here today Anil Sharma, president of AJKPC along with other senior functionaries of the organization demanded security audit of leaders of the political parties and former bureaucrats residing in Jammu division and using the services of additional cops to sensitive areas of J&K.
Sharma alleged that several Districts SPs of Jammu Zone have allotted Personal Security Officers (PSOs) to the ineligible and insignificant leaders of the political parties and retired officers without even accessing any security threat to them and these people without facing any actual risk are using these PSOs as status symbol.
He claimed that other than twin border districts of Rajouri and Poonch, most of the districts of Jammu division are peaceful but even there the DSPs have accorded PSOs to the retired officers and self claimed leaders without following any standard operating procedures (SOPs).
AJKPC leader demanded immediate security audit of all such people who are residing in peaceful areas of Jammu region but enjoying security protocol with their political clout just to please their sense of self esteem. He requested the Lt Governor Manoj Sinha and DGP Dilbagh Singh to issue orders for relieving the PSOs of all such people who actually do not need any security cover.
The AJKPC president stated that recent attacks on civilians in Kashmir division is a serious threat to national security therefore, it is important that a thorough security audit is planned and executed.
