Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday lauded Jammu and Kashmir Police for its achievements in counter-terrorism and internal security, saying the force is not merely a security apparatus but a symbol of people's trust and sacrifice.
Addressing the attestation-cum-passing out parade and appointment letter distribution ceremony for newly recruited constables at the Armed Police Complex Zewan, LG Sinha said the past five to six years have witnessed major successes in counter-terrorism operations, intelligence coordination, and internal security management.
"The close synergy among Jammu and Kashmir Police, intelligence agencies, CRPF and other security forces have helped in achieving success on all the fronts," he said.
Referring to operations against terror infrastructure, including Operation Mahadev, the Lieutenant Governor said security forces have given a befitting response to terror attacks and dismantled terror ecosystems operating in the region. He also cited the administration's firm response following the Pahalgam terror attack.
"This is a clear warning to those who consider themselves above the law. No terrorist, criminal, drug trafficker or anti-national element will be spared," LG Sinha said.
Welcome to the Force
Welcoming the newly recruited constables and their families, LG Sinha urged them to accept the realities of modern policing and constantly upgrade their capabilities to face emerging threats.
"Future-ready policing requires courage, impartiality, honesty and commitment. I hope all of you will live up to these expectations and serve the people with dedication," he said.
He assured that the entire recruitment process was conducted in a completely transparent, fair, and merit-based manner, and expressed confidence that the new batch would add fresh strength to the force and further reinforce public confidence.
"You are not just joining a profession; you are carrying a legacy on your shoulders. This force has been built on the trust, expectations and confidence of the people," he told the recruits.
Changing Nature of Crime and Warfare
Referring to the evolving security environment, LG Sinha said the police force now faces challenges beyond conventional terrorism, including cybercrime, cyber warfare, narco-terrorism, and narrative warfare.
"The future policing system will have to deal with cyber threats, digital crimes, narrative warfare and organised terror structures. The new recruits must prepare themselves mentally and technologically for these future challenges," he said.
