editor November 20, 2023

JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir At a series of meetings on Sunday in the border district of Rajouri, DGP R R Swain emphasised to officers the need to uphold zero-tolerance policies against terrorism, drug smuggling, and corruption. Two days prior, during an encounter in the district's Behrote Top neighbourhood, security forces killed a terrorist. This is the reason for his visit to Rajouri. He expressed gratitude to the officers and staff who took part in the November 17 operation. According to a police spokesman, officers who attended the meetings decided to do more to combat terrorists and their allies in addition to modernising border police stations and bolstering intelligence. The DGP, who assumed the position of chief of the Jammu and Kashmir Police on October 31, was making his first trip to the Pir Panjal region, spending a full day in Rajouri. According to the spokesman, Swain also spoke with station house officers and deputy superintendents of police from the Rajouri and Poonch districts. Officers from the army, CRPF, BSF, and other agencies met with the DGP. "Stress was laid on for identification of the terror ecosystem besides identification of forward and backward linkages in cases registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act to ensure strict action," he stated. According to the spokesperson, the DGP gave police officers orders to enforce a zero-tolerance policy against corruption, terrorism, and the smuggling of drugs and cattle."All of the officers decided to take more action against terrorists and their allies during the meetings with officers from various forces. The spokesman stated, "Officers also decided to maintain clean operations while giving careful consideration to the issues that the residents of the border districts (Rajouri and Poonch) are facing. He said that revitalising border police stations with assistance from other forces was also deliberated. "Measures for strengthening intelligence and border security grids were also discussed in the meetings," said the spokesperson. According to the DGP, no one is more qualified to combat terrorism than the Jammu and Kashmir Police because they are familiar with the region's topography and demographics. Swain urged police to create systems to further solidify their relationship with the public. As a result, he claimed, "actionable information about the anti-national elements and help in destroying the terror ecosystem" will become increasingly available.

editor November 19, 2023

SRINAGAR, Nov 19: Mehbooba Mufti, the president of the PDP, stated on Sunday that cricket should not be viewed as a war but rather as a sport. "Because it is a sport, cricket ought to be played like one. When asked about her thoughts on the ongoing Cricket World Cup, Mufti responded, "It is not a war." According to the PDP president, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee both went to India-Pakistan cricket matches in each other's nations. "The Pakistani crowd gave Indian players credit for their performances, and the Indian crowd reciprocated the favours when an Indian player performed well. That's the proper way to view the game," she continued. Mufti also criticised the Jammu and Kashmir government for what he perceived to be a power outage in the Union Territory. She charged that while the administration spends enormous sums of money on formal events and publicity, the people are supposedly made to suffer.
