Speaking to reporters, Swain said that the strategy will be started by this winter, police will launch a strategy to create such a situation in Jammu and Kashmir where no one will be ready to support militants and their handlers across the border.
“We will create such a situation here and in this regard, our first action will start from this winter. We will not allow any loss of life of our colleagues or civilians. Whoever supports them, whether they are sitting across the border or here, will be brought to justice,” he asserted.
The DGP said that there is no doubt that some people sitting in Pakistan are trying to disturb the peace here. “All their ploys would be foiled,” he said.
Swain said that police will create an atmosphere here by taking people along so that militants and their handlers’ plans are made unsuccessful.
“They have not shunned their plans (of violence). They will continue to make plans, but if we change the atmosphere here and take people along, it will render their plans unsuccessful. They will send people here, but we will create such a situation that they will find no supporters here,” he said.
“Pakistani land is not under our control and they send people, arms and ammunition or narcotics here. They are not sending money to build hospitals, schools or roads. But we will be successful in foiling their attempts when no one here will be ready to support them,” he said.
The DGP said that police have got leads in their investigation into the targeted killing of Head Constable Ghulam Mohammad Dar in Baramulla.
Swain said the investigation into Dar’s killing is on but the details cannot be shared.
“We have got leads in the case and are working on those. We are fully confident that we will bring them (perpetrators) to justice,” he added.
Swain vowed to bring the killers and their supporters to justice.
“We have lost a member of our police parivar, a noble man, a father, a brother and a citizen of Kashmir. All the officers, including the ADGP, DIG, SSP and SHO, have vowed to go to the bottom of the matter and identify the killer and all those who supported him in any way and bring them to justice,” he said.
The DGP visited slain Dar’s residence at Wailoo Kralpora in Baramulla district today. He was accompanied by Additional Director General of Police, Kashmir, Vijay Kumar. Dar was shot dead on October 31.
