Mr. Rajendra was addressing maiden police durbar at District Police Lines here today, which was attended by jawans and officers of districts of Srinagar and Budgam. He said that JKP, after tackling terrorism has emerged as one of the best forces and its sacrifices for the security of the people have been recognised at national and international forums.
Mr. Rajendra asked the cops to remain vigilant in future to thwart the designs of subversive elements as they would attempt to revitalise the dormant cells and create unrest in the State.
