Reviews security scenario of Ramban
Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, May 10: Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbag Singh today asserted it is difficult to say that whether the militant group involved in recent Rajouri-Poonch attacks is a newly infiltrated group or old one but it is apparently clear that these outfits are backed by Pakistan to disturb peace in Jammu and Kashmir.
In response to a question of media persons during his visit to Ramban, he said that those responsible for Rajouri and Poonch attacks will be neutralized soon.
“The terrains in Rajouri and Poonch districts vastly differ. However, both are close to the Line of Control. Whenever there is an infiltration, infiltrators try to target security forces,” Dilbag said adding that various successful operations have been carried out in the two districts.
“We have recovered weapons, drugs and even neutralized the infiltrators,” the DGP said.
“At the time of Prime Minister’s visit, two militants who were fidayeen were killed. Prior to that, two more militants were gunned down in Nagrota after being intercepted by alert security forces. Besides police, security forces have also thwarted weapon dropping activities through drones along border areas,” Singh said.
He said in Rajouri-Poonch areas which are close to LoC, more than half of dozen operations were carried out in which several infiltrators were killed and dropping of weapons and drugs were foiled.
The DGP added that J&K Police along with other security agencies are working in tandem to identify and eliminate the militants involved in disturbing peace in J&K.
He said that ‘hartal calls’ are now history in Kashmir and there is all-round development that has been benefiting all sections of society and different sectors including the tourism industry.
Earlier, Dilbag visited Ramban district where he inaugurated transit accommodation and newly constructed JIC. He also reviewed the security scenario of the district with jurisdictional officers and later held a Joint security review meeting with Army officers at Sector 11 Headquarters Chanderkot.
Accompanied by Special DG CID R.R Swain, ADGP Jammu Mukesh Singh, the DGP was received by DIG DKR range Sunil Gupta and SSP Ramban Mohita Sharma.
The DGP first inaugurated transit accommodation at Kowbagh Ramban for police personnel travelling through the district. He also inaugurated the newly constructed JIC, which is equipped with the latest gadgets and technology to achieve better results in investigation and operational work.
Chairing officers meeting at the transit camp, the DGP emphasized that local & highway security grids need to be kept fully geared up at all levels and joint efforts of all security forces must continue to ensure that elements inimical to peace are not given any space to disturb peace.
He stressed on enhancing the functioning of model nakas on the National Highway and directed to ensure that these model nakas are functional round the clock.
