Srinagar: Recent terror incidents in Jammu and Kashmir are desperate attempts by handlers across the border to sustain their operations after suffering major setbacks, said Director-General of Police R.R. Swain on Saturday. He affirmed that enemy forces would be defeated. Swain urged the public not to raise “false flags” and to verify information about terrorist movements before reporting to security agencies, ensuring effective responses.
From June 9 to 12, terrorists attacked four locations, including a pilgrim bus in Reasi, Kathua, and Doda districts, resulting in the deaths of nine civilians and a CRPF jawan, with many others injured. Two suspected Pakistani terrorists were killed in one encounter in Kathua.
Swain noted that the terror threat is significant, with handlers determined to keep tensions high despite diminishing terrorism in the region. He highlighted that foreign mercenaries are sent to maintain the conflict.
During his visit to Saida Sukhal village in Kathua, where an operation against terrorists lasted over 15 hours, Swain praised the police personnel for their efforts. He assured that terrorists, though few, would be eliminated and emphasized the ongoing efforts to strengthen security forces with better equipment and training. Swain also addressed the challenge of Pakistan using drones to drop weapons and narcotics. He warned that stern action would be taken against those supporting terrorism to deter future support.
He concluded by encouraging the public to continue providing accurate information to aid in counter-terrorism efforts.
