Jammu, Jul 26 (KNO): Since the terror activities are on the rise and many foreign terrorists are active in several districts of Jammu region, security forces have increased the surveillance by raising check points in different pockets of terror hit areas of Jammu region.
The Kathua and Doda districts are the most affected due to recent terror activities and all major points from where militants can enter into these districts or can move around have been sealed and every vehicle is being checked.
According to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), security forces are not letting any opportunity to go waste to get any lead about the militants active in these areas.
Sources told KNO that besides raising checkpoints, security forces have started meeting heads of villages and other people who have stay in their areas so that militants are not able to get any public support. “Recently several meetings were held with former public representatives and religious leaders where they were told to help security forces in maintaining the peace in the region and not allowing militants to intrude in any way into the society and get any kind of support,” said a source.
The security forces believe that with the support of the public they will be able to eliminate the militants who are active in the region. “Like in the past, we will be able to defeat the nefarious design of the enemy and these terrorists will meet fate like the past,” RR Swain, DGP J&K had said in the past after recent terror activities.
Moving ahead with this formula, security forces have already started re-connecting with the public, which for the past some time was missing since the terror related incidents had gone down drastically.
A highly placed source told KNO that people have been told to inform the nearest security forces establishment if any terrorist visits their homes for food or any other thing. “Security forces understand that general public can’t deny terrorists anything but once terrorists leave people can inform security forces so that they are able to get close to eliminating terrorists. But if anyone hides the information, then he or she is not doing any good to him and the society and that point of time, the person will be considered helping the terrorists, which invites action against him,” the source added—(KNO)
