Rattan Lal Gupta expresses concern over surge in terror activities across Jammu Region
Urged to review security measures and a more pragmatic approach to tackle terrorism
JAMMU June 12th : In the wake of a disturbing surge in terror incidents across the Jammu region, Rattan Lal Gupta Provincial President J&K National Conference Jammu on Wednesday expressed deep concern over the deteriorating security situation and the administration’s apparent failure to effectively curb terrorism.
Interacting with the functionaries of YNC Jammu at Sher-e- Kashmir Bhavan Jammu, Rattan Lal Gupta Provincial President Jammu Province said that three terror attacks within 72 hours time in Jammu region have exposed the negative narrative created by the administration about the end of terrorism in J&K. He said that the spike in terror activities is a matter of grave concern for one and all.
“It is alarming to see that despite numerous assurances and tall claims by the administration, the ground reality paints a very different picture. The people of Jammu region continue to live in fear, and the lack of concrete action is deeply disheartening”, he said, adding that despite so many terror attacks in the recent past including one at Dhangri village in Rajouri District, ambushes on armed forces’ convoys, Reasi attack, and the latest ones in Hiranagar village and in Doda district yesterday night, the people sitting at the helm of affairs must understand the gravity of such sensitive issues.
“The government should strengthen intelligence network, enhance coordination among security agencies, and ensure that security personnel are adequately equipped and supported”, he said and added that during the previous NC regime, the terrorism was at its lowest but in Jammu region now the things have been deteriorated and innocent people are being targeted. He urged for an urgent review of the security measures and a more pragmatic approach to tackle terrorism.
Those who were present included:- Bimla Luthra former MLA, Pardeep Bali Provincial Secretary Jammu, Abdul Gani Teli Chairman OBC Cell, Rakesh Singh Raka Vice President Central Zone, Sahil Kerni District Secretary Urban YNC, Sahil Singh District Secretary Rural YNC, Akbir Singh, Abhi, Ashok Saini, Prem Lal and Tarvinder Singh.
