Need to identify inter-district terror modules, says J-K DGP

Srinagar/Jammu, September 24

Jammu and Kashmir Police chief Dilbag Singh on Tuesday stressed on the need to identify inter-district terror modules involved in carrying out atrocities on people and initiate strict action against them.

The Director General of Police (DGP) said all the steps required to thwart the “ill designs” of the anti-national elements and their mentors should be taken.

“The inter-district modules of the terrorists involved in atrocities on people should be identified and strict action taken against them,” Singh told police officers during a security meeting in Pahalgam on Monday.

Singh, accompanied by IGP Kashmir SP Pani, held the security review meeting.

The DGP directed the officers to work with enhanced synergy and coordinated efforts to uproot terrorism and its network in the range.

He emphasised upon the officers to strengthen their intelligence grid and ensure input sharing for sharp action by the forces.

He stressed the need for regular interactions and briefing of the subordinates at different levels.

The DGP asked the officers to garner public support for better policing. He said cooperation of the people is a must to get the desired results from the measures put in place for maintaining law and order.

He said police is the first responder to any public problem and the force had always remained on the forefront to provide assistance to the people to ease their hardships. PTI
