JAMMU: Militancy is under control in Jammu and Kashmir but Pakistan has escalated its efforts to disturb peace with a two-fold increase in ceasefire violations by its troops along the border, Lieutenant Governor Girish Chander Murmu has said.
“Ceasefire violations have doubled. Cross-border elements are desperate,” Murmu said in an interview at the Raj Bhawan here.
The security situation in the Union Territory “is better” as compared to 2018, he said, adding “half of 2019 was under strict restriction. The militancy is under control. The (militancy-related) incidents have decreased.” (AGENCIES)
