Jammu, Oct 21: Inspector General of Police (IGP) Jammu zone Tejinder Singh on Wednesday asserted that that the Police were aggressively pursuing to target terror eco-system to eliminate left out terrorists and end narco-terrorism to maintain and perk-up existing peaceful scenario in J&K.
“See, the way we have tried to control the terrorism during the last two to three years and bring recruitment down to zero during the past 1.5 to two years. In the times to come, our stringent endeavour will be to target terror ecosystem so as to neutralise all remaining terrorists thus contributing in maintaining and further perking up the peaceful scenario in place for the past three decades,” Singh said, while responding to media queries on the sidelines of Police Commemoration Day at Gulshan Ground, Jammu.
He stated that security grid would also be further bolstered whether it related to the Line of Control, International Border (IB) or internal security.
“There can be no bigger sacrifice for the country than laying down lives for it. We are proud of all those martyrs. We are always standing with the families. They are part of our family. We remember and bow down in honour of all those martyrs who laid down their lives during the past one year and even earlier,” he said, while paying tributes to Police martyrs.
He urged the people to wholeheartedly support the anti-drug campaign. “As the Prime Minister and the Lieutenant Governor have exhorted us to use all our might to strike against the drug menace and the Union Home Minister has asked us to fight unitedly against drug menace and set a deadline to eliminate it by 2029. We appeal to people to support the Police and share information about those involved in drug trade anytime by using our helpline or personally contacting us through any means,” he said.
IGP Jammu affirmed that in the days to come, JKP would further bolster the actions aimed at busting drug networks and bringing those involved in such activities to justice.
“The supply of heroin from Pakistan is nothing less than a terrorist act for us. Jammu Kashmir Police are making all out efforts to crush the terror ecosystem, hit narco-terrorism while maintaining peace and stability and comply with the directions and targets set by the government for 2029 and fully live up to expectations,” Singh maintained.
He asserted that the Police were equally keeping an eye on the activities of Shahzad narco network and gangsters and were taking stringent actions.

He appealed to the people to act as eyes and ears of the Police and inform them immediately if they come across any mischievous element and notice any illegal activity.
“Immediate action would be taken,” he assured.
