He emphasised the need for heightened alertness, foolproof security planning, intensified area domination and robust intelligence-based operations to ensure peaceful and incident-free celebrations across the district.

He reiterated zero tolerance towards activities inimical to national security and stressed the importance of sustained operations against such elements and also urged officers to maintain a people-friendly policing approach while continuing to work with dedication, professionalism and commitment to uphold the rule of law and ensure a secure environment for the citizens of Shopian.

Meanwhile, in preparation for the upcoming Republic Day celebrations, police in Srinagar city have heightened security and inspection protocols throughout the city to guarantee a peaceful and safe Republic Day.

While security is paramount, I hope the "people-friendly policing" approach is genuinely followed. The common Kashmiri citizen just wants to live in peace and celebrate Republic Day like the rest of us. The focus should be on winning hearts, not just dominating areas.

Good to see detailed planning for Republic Day. These celebrations are a symbol of our unity. Heightened security is necessary, but let's also ensure it doesn't cause undue hardship to daily commuters and shopkeepers in Srinagar. Balance is key.

The call for public cooperation is crucial. Security is a shared responsibility. If locals report suspicious activity, it makes the job of the police so much more effective. Hope everyone stays vigilant and has a safe Republic Day.

The review of law & order and counter-terror prep is reassuring. However, a long-term solution requires addressing the root causes of alienation among youth, like development and jobs. Security + development should go hand in hand.
