Looking at the recent incident which occurred in a village of Reasi, where few unarmed villagers, showing a rare example of bravery and courage, captured two hardcore terrorists, it seems that the days of terrorism, which during past three decades had caused huge damages in every sector of J&K besides taking away several precious lives, is now numbered. This incident, which is being applauded by everyone in the Union Territory right from officers to the LG himself, shows that the common man of J&K has now made up its mind to make the Union Territory terrorism-free at any cost. Pertinent to mention here that when some terrorists, equipped with deadly weapons approached a house in Dhok in Mahore Tehsil of Reasi for food, the family head, acting cautiously, made them sit inside, and informed his brother and some neighbours regarding the same. Presenting a rare example of bravery, the villagers very tactfully overpowered the terrorists and snatched their weapons. They also tied them with a rope and informed the police, which rushed to the spot and nabbed both the dreaded terrorists, who were responsible for several terror incidents. Lauding the valour and courage of the villagers, LG Manoj Sinha announced a Cash reward of Rs 5 Lakh while Rs 2 lakh was announced by the DGP on behalf of JKP for nabbing the dreaded terrorists. Giving further details a senior Police officer informed that due to tightened security and intensified anti-insurgency operations, the terrorists are now finding it hard carry out their nefarious designs in Valley and trying to move to other locations like twin districts of Poonch and Rajouri and few areas of Reasi. But, it is really a matter of great satisfaction that the people have now understood that the terrorism is acting as a major roadblock in the path of prosperity and progress and for achieving the same end of this menace is must. There is no doubt that the security forces, under the directives of the Government are already carrying out a decisive battle against the menace and have achieved significant success as well but now it seems that people too have decided to help the administration in elimination of terrorism, which is really a welcome step.
