Go all out against terrorists; J&K LG to security forces

Srinagar, August 02: Following two back to back terror attacks in Kashmir including killings of two migrant labourers in Kulgam, the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Manoj Sinha has issued clear instructions to the security forces to go all out against the terrorists.

“We must intensify precise, high-impact anti-terror operations to neutralise the terrorists,” the Lieutenant Governor said at a high-level security review meeting held here late Saturday.
The meeting was attended by Atal Dullo, Chief Secretary; Nalin Prabhat, DGP; Chandraker Bharti, Principal Secretary Home Department; S.J.M.Gillani, Special DG Coordination PHQ; Nitish Kumar, ADGP, CID; M Raju, Commissioner/Secretary, GAD; IGPs; Divisional Commissioners; SSPs, Deputy Commissioners and other senior officials.
The Lieutenant Governor directed all the Deputy Commissioners and SSPs to conduct a comprehensive review of the Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs) established to protect laborers from outside Jammu Kashmir. He also directed that the employers must ensure all workers from other states and UTs of the country are provided insurance and that their details are registered with local police and district authorities.
He instructed the authorities to ensure dignified last rites for the victims of the Kulgam terror attack and to provide all the support to bereaved families.
The meeting also discussed the security arrangements in place for the ongoing Amarnathji Yatra and strengthening of the security grid.

Of late there has been a sudden surge in targetted killings in Kashmir in a clear attempt to derail the gains built over the years since revocation of Article 370 on August 5, 2019.
