JAMMU: An anti-sabotage inspection of railway assets will be carried out by the Jammu and Kashmir police as part of a significant security stepped-up in advance of the Republic Day celebrations here. At a security review meeting held here this evening, Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) for Railways Sunil Kumar issued these directives. A spokesman for the ADGP instructed all police to make sure that security devices and sniffer dogs are used to conduct anti-sabotage checks of railway stations, tracks and surrounding areas. He demanded that the overall security configuration of all the railway routes and stations in Jammu and Katra be strengthened. The ADGP obtained the required input from local General Railway Police personnel as well as a new security evaluation of the measures that had been taken. He emphasised that in order to quickly disseminate crucial and essential information, communication networks need to be expanded, made more active, and made more efficient. Upon concluding the discussions, the ADGP urged the officers to have close communication with other police wings and sister intelligence organisations in order to prevent any unfortunate incidents. The ADGP spoke with each participant and assessed the security measures implemented in their spheres of influence in light of the Republic Day celebrations and the regular and insightful information shared by various sister agencies about the threat posed by terrorists and anti-social elements.

Security situation under control; infiltration a challenge: J&K DGP

editor January 24, 2024Leave a comment

SRINAGAR: Director General of Police R R Swain stated on Tuesday that although cross-border infiltration in Jammu and Kashmir continues to be a concern for the forces, the security situation is under control. "There is control over the security situation. Law and order is the most important component of security, and we believe we have managed public order on the highways, etc.," Swain told reporters at a public grievance redressal programme at Awantipora in the Pulwama region of south Kashmir. According to the DGP, security forces face difficulties dealing with cross-border infiltration. "Yes, the fact that some terrorists are entering from the outside presents a problem for us. They are entering and attempting to destroy the environment here with a few others.It is a difficulty, but we view it from various angles. We observe that fewer of our own boys are joining them, or none of them are. They can have a little following, but the general public does not. When we assert that we are in charge of the security (situation), we have that in mind," Swain continued. "About 90% of the root and origin of the problem is outside," the J&K police chief responded when asked about targeted attacks in the Union Territory. "A Pakistani who is sitting outside and is not from Jammu and Kashmir comes here in some way, perhaps via tunnel digging or infiltration, and then fights us. It presents a challenge. This presents a challenge even though their numbers have decreased. There is a problem with cross-border infiltration in Poonch-Rajouri and to some extent here as well. When things progressively become better, we'll be able to take control of it. We also hope that the people would turn them over to us," he stated. In south Kashmir, it was the DGP's first Public Grievances Redressal Programme. In addition to the Jammu region, he has spoken at such sessions in Kupwara and Srinagar in north Kashmir. Many participants in the workshop brought up various concerns, including robberies, domestic abuse, and land conflicts.
