SRINAGAR, Mar 20: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today said there is a need to deal strictly with those elements who try to break the “morale of the society”.
Speaking at the closing ceremony of 71st B.N Mullik Memorial All India Police Football Championship at Bakshi Stadium here, Sinha said there will be an economic revolution in J&K in the days to come.
“So, everyone should understand that today the new successes we are achieving on the economic and business front, the responsibility of their security is on the shoulders of the police force.
“There is a need to deal strictly with those elements who try to break the morale of the society. We have achieved successes to a large extent. But, such actions should go on continuously against such elements,” he said.
The LG said “we have to regularly work towards maintaining an atmosphere of stability, security, and economic development in our region”.
“We have to closely watch whatever is happening around us and ensure our police force and other agencies are capable to fight the coming challenges,” he added.
Referring to the groundbreaking ceremony for the first Foreign Direct Investment in J&K, a shopping mall and a multipurpose tower on the outskirts of Srinagar, Sinha said it was after a long time that the economic pendulum has shifted towards the Union Territory.
Meanwhile, Director General of Police Dilbag Singh today said that they will help Punjab Police whenever they need in a weapon procuring case against pro-Khalistan preacher Amritpal Singh’s ‘Waris Punjab De’ outfit.
The DGP said this while speaking to reporters after the closing ceremony of the 71st B N Mullik Memorial All India Police Football Championship at Bakshi Stadium here.
It has come to the fore that the ‘Waris Punjab De’ outfit procured some weapons from Jammu and Kashmir.
“Wherever Punjab Police need us, the Jammu and Kashmir Police will extend all help to them. Some cases have come to the fore where some weapons were issued from here to the people there. We have taken cognisance of such cases. A couple of cases have been registered and we will help the Punjab Police wherever they need,” Singh said.
Singh said militancy numbers in Jammu and Kashmir were low and youngsters were taking to sports.
“Today, there is an atmosphere of peace in schools and colleges, and everywhere, students are focussed on their studies and are also participating in sports activities,” he added.
“They are also doing well in different competitive exams. We want to strengthen the atmosphere of peace so that the youth continue their studies without any hurdles and build their lives and take care of their parents and the society,” Singh said.
