In wake of the rising terror attacks on civilians and security forces and subsequent criticism being faced by the government, Lt Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday chaired a security review meeting and asked the J&K Police to eliminate the terror ecosystem.

The L-G chaired a high-level meeting of senior civil, police officials and DCs, SSPs of Jammu division to review the progress of development projects and security situation in the region.

The meeting was attended by Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo; DGP Nalin Prabhat; Principal Secretary, Home, Chandraker Bharti; ADGP (Law & Order) Vijay Kumar; ADGP, Jammu, Anand Jain; ADGP, CID, Nitish Kumar; Principal Secretary to L-G, Mandeep Bhandari; Divisional Commissioner, Jammu, Ramesh Kumar; DIGs, Deputy Commissioners and SSPs of all districts of Jammu region.

“With greater synergy and whole of government approach, our focus should be complete elimination of terrorism and the entire ecosystem supporting them,” L-G told officers, adding that they should not rest until terrorism is wiped out.

“Exemplary action must be taken against those aiding and abetting the terror ecosystem. Wiping out the terrorism from Jammu and Kashmir will be your greatest contribution not only to the security aspect to establish peace but also in the development of J&K and its brighter future,” he said.

The Lieutenant Governor also emphasised the need for constant monitoring of project implementation and underlined the importance of speedy infrastructure development.

He directed the Deputy Commissioners to take comprehensive measures for expansion of public outreach programmes and 100% saturation of all government schemes.

Monitoring of saturation of beneficiary-oriented schemes should remain our priority besides implementation of Holistic Agriculture Development Programme and promotion of entrepreneurial schemes like ‘One District, One Product’ that could benefit a large section of the population, he further added.

There have been multiple attacks in different parts of Jammu division especially in mountainous and far-off areas like Kishtwar, Doda, Rajouri, Poonch and Udhampur district. Many other areas have also been on the target of terrorists in J&K.
