Srinagar, May 19: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has strongly condemned the recent terrorist attacks in Shopian and Pahalgam. He assured that security forces have been given free rein to bring the perpetrators to justice. Sinha affirmed that the J&K Police, Army, and Security Forces are committed to hunting down the terrorists and their collaborators.
Lt Governor’s Statement:
“I am deeply shocked at the terrorist attack and the brutal killing of former Sarpanch Aijaz Ahmad Sheikh. He was an exemplary grassroots leader and will be remembered for his selfless service to the people. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and admirers. We stand in solidarity with the family at this difficult hour.
The heinous attack on tourists at Pahalgam is also distressing. I have already instructed the Administrative and Police officials to provide the best possible treatment to the injured couple and pray for their speedy recovery. The government has given free hand to the J&K Police and Security Forces to crush terrorists and their associates. I have complete faith in the bravery of our personnel, and the perpetrators of this attack will be punished soon. Our security forces will also hunt down those elements who are helping the terrorists and trying to disrupt J&K’s developmental journey.”
