JAMMU: Director General of Police RR Swain acknowledged on Saturday that there are foreign terrorists operating in the Rajouri-Poonch belt of Jammu and Kashmir. However, he stated that security forces are dedicated to eliminating terrorism from the Pir Panjal region's southern region. This year has seen a spike in terror attacks in the Jammu region's twin districts of Rajouri and Poonch, which has resulted in the deaths of seven civilians and 19 Army personnel. Up to 25 terrorists have also been slain in clashes, the majority of which occurred along the Line of Control (LoC), as security forces have thwarted multiple attempts at infiltration. "The Rajouri-Poonch belt is in a secure situation, but we would prefer not to talk about our plan in public. The police chief told reporters in Jammu, "There is no doubt about it, but it is important for the public to know that there are primarily foreign terrorists operating within our territory with some degree of support from some selected persons." Though it is difficult to identify these "very very limited" individuals who are with the terrorists and do not live in their homes but rather hide in the forests, Swain stated that the number of supporters of terrorism is "very very limited." Information flow becomes limited when terrorists operate out of deep forest hideouts, according to the police chief.It is undoubtedly difficult, but we are fighting back with all of our might and resources," Swain remarked. He said that the forces are aware of the threat posed by terrorism and are determined to deal with it head-on and eradicate it before it grows. According to the head of police, from 1997 to 2003–2004, there was peace in the area and no terrorist activity. "We are aware of that circumstance as well as this circumstance. There is a chasm, and we won't permit it to be crossed in their favour," Swain declared.

NEW DELHI: Pro wrestler Vinesh Phogat gave back her Arjuna Award and Khel Ratna on Saturday, leaving them at Kartavya Path in New Delhi, as she was stopped by the police from going to the Prime Minister's office. The gold medallist from the Asian Games had declared earlier in the week that she was returning her medals, claiming that they were no longer meaningful in light of the current struggles wrestlers are facing for justice. This decision was communicated by Phogat to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a letter. She left the awards at Kartavya Path, where Delhi Police later collected them, after the police prevented her from delivering the awards in person to the Prime Minister's office on Saturday.She was protesting the current situation in the wrestling community with this act. While she won the Arjuna Award in 2016, Vinesh was awarded the Khel Ratna, India's highest sports honour, in 2020. In opposition to the election of Sanjay Singh, a close associate of former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh who had been accused of sexual harassment by well-known grapplers, Phogat, along with fellow Olympic medallists Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia, had voiced their concerns. Early this year, the grapplers staged a protracted protest at Jantar Mantar. A Delhi court is handling the case. Sakshi Malik had even declared her retirement from the world of professional wrestling shortly after Sanjay Singh became the WFI Chief. Later, the newly-elected panel was suspended by the Sports Ministry for making decisions that did not follow the guidelines set forth in its own constitution. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) was then directed to establish an ad hoc committee to manage the wrestling organization's operations. In her letter, Phogat highlighted the differences between their actual lives and the glitzy depictions in "fancy government advertisements" that talk about women's empowerment on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).In response to a directive from the Sports Ministry, the IOA on Wednesday formed an ad hoc committee consisting of three members to oversee the daily functions of the Wrestling Federation of India. The two-time World Championship medallist Phogat emphasised in her letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that she no longer felt any connection to the Khel Ratna and Arjuna awards.

POONCH: Due to security concerns, Mehbooba Mufti, the leader of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), was stopped by the police on DKG road in Poonch, Jammu and Kashmir. She was travelling to meet the relatives of those killed close to the site of an anti-terrorist operation in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district. As Mehbooba Mufti and her supporters attempted to move forward, they were observed fighting with multiple police officers. Mehbooba and her supporters protested the situation after it happened to show their displeasure. Mufti questioned the limitations placed upon her, pointing out that other political party leaders had been permitted to visit the region. She cast doubt on the perceived threat and proposed that an attempt to withhold information could be the true problem. "Leaders of the National Conference are welcome to attend, but BJP President Ravinder Raina is not allowed to do so because of a possible threat. These people pose the greatest threat here, in my opinion. They desire that we not get to know those families. Then, they're attempting to conceal something," Mufti remarked. The Indian Army announced that it is looking into the deaths of three civilians in the Poonch-Rajouri area, where on December 21 militants attacked army personnel, leaving four soldiers dead. The Indian Army intends to increase the number of troops stationed in the Poonch-Rajouri sector in order to curb the activities of Pakistani terrorists there, given the recent increase in attacks on its troops. The families of three civilians slain in the Poonch sector were also met by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh earlier. Noor Mohammad, the victim's brother, claimed that Rajnath Singh had promised them justice after they had a meeting with the minister of defence. "When we informed him about the incident, he promised that justice would be served. He promised that justice would be served, even though whatever had happened to us was terrible. We're hoping it gets done," stated Muhammad. The victim's uncle, Mohammed Sadiq, concurred that justice ought to be served promptly. "Justice must to be served, and it must be served promptly. We are pleased to welcome the Minister of Defence, who assured us of justice during his visit," he continued.
