Speaking to the officers the DGP expressed satisfaction over the synergy existing between the officers and formations of forces. He expressed hope that together security forces will continue to work harder for greater peace. The DGP stressed upon the officers not to let the peaceful atmosphere be disturbed by the elements inimical to it by effectively and sincerely handling the lawful duties and commitments.
The DGP said that the action against militants and their OGW networks and handlers should be continued unabated and all such elements should be kept under check so as to foil their “ill designs that are aimed at disrupting normal lives of the people.”
He said that security grids need to be kept fully geared up at all levels with joint efforts of all security forces and agencies. “He directed officers to review the security strategies more often so as to check for any loopholes if ignored. The DGP also took a review of the winter preparedness.”
He appreciated the forces for the recent successes against militancy but stressed for continued pressure on militants and OGWs to consolidate the peace, the spokesperson said.
“He directed the officers to stay focused and to maintain surveillance on the support system of (militants),” the spokesperson said, adding, “He said that Pakistani agents and their handlers here are always looking for soft targets to foment trouble in the much better prevailing security scenario in J&K.”
Officers from CRPF, Army, and BSF shared their views and assessments in the meeting, he said.
Earlier the DGP chaired a Police Establishment Board (PEB) during which various agenda points pertaining to capacity building and welfare of the police personnel were discussed.
