Srinagar, Dec 1: Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police Dilbag Singh on Wednesday said that “Pakistan agents and their handlers” in Kashmir are “trying very hard to radicalise the youth of J&K and involve them in terrorism.”
“Pakistan agents and their handlers are hell bent to disturb the peace here. Pakistan and their agents are trying to push more terrorists during winter season via Rajouri, Poonch and Bandipora, Kupwara borders,” Singh told reporters in south Kashmir where he reviewed the security situation.
“Our security forces protecting our borders and police in the hinterland are active to thwart any attempt of infiltration,” he affirmed.
The police chief said that J&K Police is making every effort to stop involvement of youth and have remained successful in bringing misguided youth to their home and parents.
A police spokesman said DGP today visited south Kashmir districts of Anantnag and Pulwama. He also chaired an officers meeting to take stock of the security scenario at the Deputy Inspector General of South Kashmir Range office at Anantnag.
In Pulwama, DGP complimented the Police and security forces for a successful operation that left two Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists, including a top commander, dead.
He complimented the local people for their cooperation and behaviour, but noted that at times some people get involved in unlawful activities during encounters.
The DGP said that people of south Kashmir have always been cooperative and there is no law and order situation because of public support. He said that Police and people have been working together for peace. He said that Police and security forces are working in great synergy to eliminate remaining terrorists of terror outfits to maintain the peace and order.
In a meeting at Anantnag, the DGP impressed upon the police officers to strive harder to maintain peace and order in the UT. He emphasized that the police personnel must deal strictly with elements involved in the radicalization of youth and pushing them towards terrorism. He directed the police officers to identify and book the persons involved in these activities. He directed the officers that people’s cooperation is pivotal for the force to achieve more success on the anti-militancy front and emphasised for better police public relations. UNI
