Police have been aggressively acting against terrorists, their overground workers, sympathisers and harbourers. This action follows the resolve of the Lt Governor Manoj Sinha under whose orders the army, security forces and the police are determined to completely dismantle the terror infrastructure.
Addressing the passing out parade of 629 BSF recruits at the Humhama training centre of BSF on Saturday, the Lt Governor said that the revised strategy of the army and the security forces will avenge every drop of innocent blood spilled by the terrorists.
Terrorists recently killed seven innocent, unarmed workers of an infrastructure company in the Gagangir area of the Ganderbal district. Those killed included six non-local workers and a local doctor.
