The emphasis on curbing drug abuse is very important. It's often the root cause that fuels other crimes and instability, especially among the youth. A holistic approach is needed.

While security is important, I hope these operations are conducted with maximum restraint and respect for common citizens. The goal should be lasting peace, not just temporary control. The lifting of restrictions is a positive sign.

Salute to our police officers and jawans working in such challenging conditions. They deserve our full support. Intelligence-based ops and coordination are key. Jai Hind!

The DGP camping in the Valley since March 1 shows commitment. Direct on-ground assessment is always better than remote control from Delhi or Jammu. Hope the 'normal life' mentioned in the last line becomes a permanent feature.

Interesting to see the mention of anti-US and anti-Israel protests as the context. The police have a tough job balancing local sentiments with national security imperatives. Proactive policing is easier said than done.
