SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir Police has not only foiled evil designs of the neighbouring country but uprooted terrorism and its ecosystem from many areas, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said on Sunday.
He said the Jammu and Kashmir Police is also the finest example of superior internal security machinery for protection of integrity and sovereignty of the country.
Sinha was addressing the gathering at the attestation-cum-passing out parade of the Jammu and Kashmir Police Constables at Manigam Police Training School.
“There are hundreds of examples in Jammu and Kashmir where brave cops, under able leadership, have not only foiled many evil designs of the neighbouring country by carrying out historic operations but even uprooted terrorism and its ecosystem from some areas,” Sinha said at the function in Ganderbal district.
“Jammu and Kashmir Police is the finest example of superior internal security machinery with its skill, dedication, mobility and resolve to protect the integrity and sovereignty of the country. Over a period of time, they have shown that where there is a will, there is a way forward,” the L-G said.
In the times of borderless crime, the need of the hour was to strengthen the entire police force to deal with the machinations of global crime, he said.
“You are aware that borderless crime has become a challenge for security agencies around the world. For dealing with it, we don’t have to create a special cell but we have to train the entire force in such a way that they should be able to monitor and respond quickly to the global crime network,” he added.
He congratulated senior officials for providing all-round training to the recruits.
Narco terrorism is one of the biggest challenges before us and we need enhanced coordination between all the security & drug law enforcement agencies for intensifying the crackdown on the narco-terror networks in the UT, said the Lt Governor.
