Jammu & Kashmir: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha chairs UT Level Security Conference

LG Manoj Sinha chairs a high-level J&K security conference, vowing to neutralize all terrorists and their supporters while building a proactive security grid.

"The real security gains since 2019 must be defended, and every single terrorist and their supporter... must be neutralised. - Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha"

Jammu, December 19

JK Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Thursday chaired the UT-level Conference on the lines of the DGPs/IGPs conference in Jammu on Friday.

In his address, the Lieutenant Governor said that, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the UT-level security conference will serve as a hub for deliberation and collaboration to develop a whole-of-government approach to counter terrorism in all its forms.

He also noted that during DGPs/IGPs conference in Raipur this year, threadbare discussions were held on the theme 'Viksit Bharat: Security Dimensions', reflecting the Government of India's commitment to transform policing institutions to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world.

Moreover, the Lieutenant Governor underlined the need for coordinated action against the terrorists, enablers and ideologues to eradicate the ecosystem and the haven. "The real security gains since 2019 must be defended, and every single terrorist and their supporter operating in the valley, forest, hills or village must be neutralised," Sinha said.

Further in his address, Sinha highlighted the collaborative efforts of the J&K Police, the Army, Intelligence agencies, and the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) over the past 6 years, which have strengthened the security grid, leading to a significant decline in terrorist violence, the number of active terrorists, and recruitment.

"Armed terrorists and their supporters, OGWs and those elements intimidating the common citizen should be treated equally. We must ensure they pay a very heavy price for their action," the Lieutenant Governor said.

The Lieutenant Governor also discussed strategies to tackle evolving threats, enhance intelligence capabilities, and build a next-level security grid for new-age security challenges.

"The landscape of security threats has undergone a profound change in recent years. We need to shift from reactive to proactive security strategies and use sophisticated tools like AI to counter terrorism, terror financing, radicalisation, and narco-terrorism threats," the Lieutenant Governor said.

Senior officials from the J&K Police, Intelligence, Civil Administration, and CAPFs attended the one-day UT-level security conference.

Good to see coordinated efforts. But I hope this security focus is balanced with equal emphasis on job creation and youth engagement in the Valley. Long-term peace will come from opportunities, not just operations. 🤞

"Neutralise every single terrorist" - Strong words needed for strong action. Our security forces are doing a phenomenal job under extremely difficult conditions. Salute to J&K Police and Army! 🇮🇳

The mention of tackling "enablers and ideologues" is key. You have to dry up the source of support. A proactive strategy using intelligence and tech is the only way to deal with modern threats. Hope it translates to action on the ground.

As someone with family in Jammu, the decline in violence is palpable and welcome. Conferences are good, but sustained pressure on terror networks is what matters. Don't let the guard down.

While security is paramount, I respectfully hope the "heavy price" mentioned applies strictly to those proven guilty through due process. The common citizen who wants peace should feel protected by the state, not intimidated. A fine balance is needed.

Narco-terrorism is a huge threat
