On the occasion, Goyal listened the issues raised by the people and assured to look into them.
Speaking on the occasion, the DGP said some elements are disturbed by witnessing growing peace in J&K and are making attempts to disturb it. He said besides J&K Police, and other security forces, it’s the responsibility of the people to consolidate this peace further. He said that across the border terrorist training camps/ launch pads are still active. Infiltration attempts were made from LoC and IB, J&K Police and security forces have tracked down many of these infiltrators, he added.
He said that during the current year, around three dozen Pakistani terrorists affiliated with JeM & LeT were neutralized which indicated involvement of Pakistan and its agencies in fomenting trouble in J&K.
