Fight against terror intensified: Jammu-Kashmir LG Manoj Sinha

Srinagar: Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, on Thursday said that the Indian forces will not allow the neighbouring country to revive militancy in Jammu region as efforts have been intensified to crush militancy.

Sinha hoisted the tricolor at Bakshi stadium in Srinagar and addressed the gathering. The administration also opened Balidan Stambh, a memorial dedicated to government forces personnel who died in the line of duty, at Partap Park in Srinagar.

Sinha urged people in Jammu region that witnessed a spike in high casualty militant attacks and violence over the past two months, to stay united and help the forces to put an end to militancy in the region.


He said that the significant decrease in violence in J&K marked by the absence of organised stone-pelting and hartal incidents and the new wave of development have "frustrated the biggest sponsor of terrorism, our neighbouring country".

"We will never allow the neighbouring country to succeed in their designs of terror. They, who are struggling for even two meals a day, now want to spread unrest in the Jammu region by sending foreign terrorists, who have carried out heinous acts," said Sinha. He said that the people of Jammu have fought against the militancy with vigour before, and this time too, they will help in ending it.

"We have lost brave officers, soldiers, and civilians...we have given a free hand to the J&K police and security forces and want to assure the people of J&K and the nation that we have intensified our efforts to crush terror," said Sinha.
