Ensure zero-tolerance towards terrorism, narcotics smuggling : DGP

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.

For educational purposes, the Gyanodaya Express, carrying seven hundred female students from Union Territory universities, will pass through several states. "For the students, it will be a pilgrimage of education. Through immersive, cooperative, and project-based learning opportunities, the journey aims to blur the lines between classrooms and educational streams and advance the field of education, according to the Lieutenant Governor. As per Sinha, the idea behind the trip was influenced by the life of Mahatma Gandhi, who conducted a train-based "epic tour" across the nation, interacting with people from diverse backgrounds and bringing awareness to the values of "truth and non-violence."The LG stated that in addition to providing students with an opportunity to experience various places and cultures, the trip will help them better understand who they are. "Train journeys will support interdisciplinary education and offer chances for hands-on learning. Travelling by train is regarded as an expedition to change the current state of knowledge. "The journey of students along with mentors to centres of excellence such as Indian Navy, ISRO and Sabarmati Ashram will provide them with new ideas, insight and hands-on knowledge for new research," he stated.
