The DGP interacted with the officers and jawans in the elite Cargo unit and complimented various police districts and units who along with Army and CRPF carried out successful operations against terrorists. 

Singh, meanwhile, congratulated a boy who after joining terrorist ranks “realised the futility of this wrong path” and “re-united with his family”.

He hoped that an appeal made by the family of another youth from south Kashmir to their son who went missing a few days back would have desired impact on him.

The DGP assured such youth who have gone astray under various pressures in the recent past would be assisted by the police in case they choose to return “leaving the dreadful path forced on them by vested elements”.

He also urged all ranks of police, Army and CAPF to be people friendly and compassionate during the conduct of various duties, while being equally tough with the perpetrators of violence and combating terrorism forced on the people by Pakistan and its agencies.

“We are committed to providing a more peaceful atmosphere for the people of J&K,” he said, and added, “Pakistan sponsored terror outfits shall be dealt with adequate responses.”

The DGP further said, “It’s the time to be more watchful and alert as the terrorists and their handlers across the fence have plans to stir and step up violence and acts of terror against members of the civil society and security forces to take out their desperation to recent losses to terrorist cadres.”

“Security grids be geared up for suitable responses in the highly sensitive areas,” he added.
