J&K LG calls for action against terror sympathisers & OGWs

Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday chaired a meeting on counter radicalisation measures and dismantling of the entire support system of militants in J&K. He also reviewed the overall security situation in the Union Territory and assessed ongoing efforts to strengthen security preparedness in the winter.

"Our 360-degree approach to counter-terrorism with massive crackdowns on terror financing, narco-terror links, over ground workers (OWGs) and sympathisers is focused on dismantling the entire support structure to terrorists. Our coordinated efforts will ensure that the remnants of terror ecosystem are completely wiped out from Jammu Kashmir," Sinha said at the meeting, according to an official statement.

He directed officials to remain vigilant and watchful of emerging security challenges, emphasising the zero tolerance policy against militancy. "Officials should take strongest possible action against terror sympathisers, OGWs and terror elements who are trying to radicalise youth," said Sinha. He also directed officials to intensify intelligence-led operations against militants and concerted efforts to monitor digital platforms being used by militant groups for radicalisation and funding.
