Ensuring vigilance and safety in J&K

Sir,
The recent recovery of an old mortar shell in Udhampur and rusted ammunition in Reasi highlights the persistent threat posed by remnants of past conflicts in Jammu and Kashmir.
These discoveries underscore the importance of continued vigilance and proactive measures by our security forces. While the Director General of Police, R R Swain, mentions the reduced number of terrorists, the unpredictable nature of their activities remains a significant concern.
The focus on new infiltration methods and the use of tunnels necessitates a robust and adaptive security strategy.
It is imperative for the authorities to enhance surveillance and intelligence-sharing mechanisms to prevent such incidents. Community awareness and cooperation with security forces can further strengthen our efforts to thwart the nefarious designs of anti-national elements. Our collective responsibility is to ensure the safety and security of our region.
