Srinagar, Jan 23: The top official of Jammu and Kashmir’s police force, DGP R.R. Swain, asserted on Tuesday that the Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed significant improvement in the law and order situation, despite challenges posed by terrorists from across the border.
Speaking at a media address, Swain credited effective law enforcement for the notable control over the security landscape. While acknowledging the persistent threat from a handful of infiltrating terrorists, he emphasized that the local youth remain unaligned with these disruptive elements.
“Our youth are not involved with them. While a few individuals may support these terrorists, the majority stand against them, indicating that the situation is under control,” stated the Director General of Police (DGP).
During the second Rural Outreach event, a component of the Public Grievance Redressal Programme, held in South Kashmir community members raised diverse issues, from instances of cheating to concerns about land grabbing.
Assuring swift and lawful action, the DGP affirmed the police’s commitment to addressing concerns beyond conventional security matters. “This is the first time we’re reaching out in South Kashmir,” said Swain. He highlighted collaborative efforts to foster peace in the Rajouri-Poonch belt, underscoring the dedication to creating a peaceful environment in the Jammu and kashmir.
“We believe that there will be a time when Jammu and Kashmir will be peaceful, and people will capture those attempting to disrupt the peace, handing them over to us,” added Swain, expressing optimism about the region’s future.
