Sinha lauded the synergy between Police, intelligence agencies, the CRPF and other security forces, stating that it has led to major successes in counter-terrorism operations over the last five years.

“This is a clear warning to those who consider themselves above the law. No terrorist, no criminal, no drug trafficker, no anti-national element will be spared,” he declared.
The LG said that the Police have consistently worked for the safety, security and welfare of the people and has strengthened its bond with society through sacrifice and public service.
Sinha while lauding the Police for its achievements in counter-terrorism and internal security over the past five said it’s not just a security force but a symbol of people’s trust and sacrifice.
“If I talk about the achievements of the past five to six years, there have been major successes in counter-terrorism operations, intelligence coordination and internal security management. The close synergy among Police, intelligence agencies, CRPF and other security forces have helped in achieving success on all the fronts.”
The LG welcomed the new recruits and their families on joining the police force. “Recruits must accept the realities of modern policing and constantly upgrade their capabilities to face emerging threats,” he said.
“Future-ready policing requires courage, impartiality, honesty and commitment. I hope all of you will live up to these expectations and serve the people with dedication.”
Sinha complimented the senior police officers, trainers and all agencies involved in the recruitment and training process for successfully preparing the new batch of recruits.
“The newly recruited constables will add fresh strength to the force and further strengthen public confidence,” he said.
The LG said the entire recruitment process was conducted by the Jammu and Kashmir authorities in a completely transparent, fair and merit-based manner.
“All the recruits selected today have come through a transparent and merit-based recruitment process. I believe these young recruits will provide new strength to J&K Police and help further strengthen discipline, professionalism and decency within the force,” he said.
Sinha said they were becoming part of a force whose glory, sacrifice and professionalism are recognised across the country.
“Today, through this platform, I want to tell all of you that you are becoming part of a force whose glory is known nationwide. Jammu and Kashmir Police is not merely the name of a force, but the name of people’s faith and trust,” he said.
The LG said the recruits were not merely entering a profession, but were taking the responsibility of carrying forward a proud legacy on their shoulders.
“You are not just joining a profession; you are carrying a legacy on your shoulders. This force has been built on the trust, expectations and confidence of the people,” he said.
Sinha said the Police have earned immense respect due to the sacrifices rendered by its brave personnel over the years. He said whenever brave policemen and women step out for duty, they knowingly put their lives at risk so that common people can live safely and peacefully.
“When the brave police personnel of J&K Police leave their homes for duty, they are fully aware of the dangers before them, yet they continue to protect society with courage and dedication,” he said.
The LG said the police force now faces challenges beyond conventional terrorism, including cybercrime, cyber warfare, narco-terrorism and narrative warfare.
“The future policing system will have to deal with cyber threats, digital crimes, narrative warfare and organised terror structures. The new recruits must prepare themselves mentally and technologically for these future challenges,” he added.
The LG extended his best wishes to the newly recruited constables and expressing confidence that their induction would significantly strengthen the operational capability of the Police.
Atal Dulloo, Chief Secretary; Nalin Prabhat, DGP; Chandraker Bharti, Principal Secretary Home Department; S.J.M.Gillani, Special DG Coordination PHQ; Abdul Ghani Mir, Commandant General Home Guards; M.K Sinha, ADGP Headquarters; senior officials of police and civil administration, and family members of new recruits attended the appointment letters presentation ceremony.
