The situation in J&K has turned promising as terrorism has been wiped out from the region to a large extent. It is to be noted that the ‘violence’ which the people are confronting right now is the residual of what used to be the big problem in the past because still there are elements in the society who are adamant and not budging to shun this wrongful path. The number of people who are inimical to peace has turned insignificant as security forces have sanitized the Union Territory in a big way with no big name involved in terror activities or leading any of the outfits of terrorists remaining alive today. The courtesy for such a big leap in containing the vicious cycle of violence and threats and fear psychosis all goes to valiant security personnel who gave their everything to ensure peace and tranquility in J&K and for this the people of the UT will remain indebted to them and their families. It has been averred by the LG Manoj Sinha, DGP J&K Dilbag Singh and the top level army officers serving in the UT number of times that terrorism is on its last leg and the time is not far when the most beautiful union territory of the country will become free from the scourge of violence that had gripped the entire region for the past over three decades. In this context, the statement by the DGP Dilbag Singh that almost all the cases of targeted killings have been solved and infiltration is all time low in J&K holds much significance because he is the man who has all the information regarding the ground situation in the UT and his endorsement to the fact that there is decline in terrorism means a lot. One can say that the time has come when the government can declare with assertion that terrorism is all set to die soon and good old days are about to come back in Valley with people having all the avenues to lead a prosperous life as gun culture has become a thing of the past. Whatever is coming out today in the form of threats to minority community members in Valley is the last attempt by the enemies of peace and stooges of Pakistan to revive the unrest but the security forces’ grid is quite strong this time and any attempt to disrupt peace will be foiled with iron hands. It is the time that those entities which left the Valley in distress about three decades ago should all plan their return and future in the place where they spent their childhood and where they learned to live in a homogenous culture with peace and brotherhood remaining the top priorities as anytime soon the PM could declare that J&K is free from terrorism and there is no terror monger left to disturb the peace in the region.
