Hands over appointment letters to newly appointed JKP constables
Jammu, May 20: Asserting that terror needs money, networks, and support systems to survive, Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha on Wednesday called upon the people to work with resolve and efficiency to rid Jammu and Kashmir of fear and terrorism.
While presenting appointment letters to newly appointed constables of Jammu & Kashmir Police here, LG Sinha, according to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said, “Terror does not sustain itself; it needs money, networks, and support systems. Using the full force of the law, we must trace and neutralize sources of funding. We must identify every network and dismantle every support system completely.”
The Lieutenant Governor said that everyone should work with resolve and efficiency to rid Jammu Kashmir of fear and terrorism.
The Lieutenant Governor urged the new recruits to dedicate themselves to defending the unity and integrity of the motherland and to strengthen the proud legacy of this force.
“We must remain constantly alert and vigilant. The nature of law & order threats and terrorism has evolved, demanding a constant, unyielding vigilance and alert to threats that hide in plain sight,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
He said that new recruits must work as a team because the threats Jammu Kashmir confronts demand cooperation between different agencies.
“When we share information, plan strategies, and confront the enemy together, we build capacities that no single institution can create alone. India has always embraced the values of peaceful coexistence, mutual goodwill, and sincere friendship. Yet we face a neighbour widely known as a source of terrorism in the world. Alongside maintaining law and order, newly recruited constables must stand on the front line of national security with determination to eliminate threats of terror,” he said.
The Lieutenant Governor also cautioned that along with modern tools, police force should also adopt tradecraft of basic policing.
“In matters of law and order, beat policing proves highly effective. When a beat constable resolves that no crime will occur within their jurisdiction and that public land will not be occupied illegally, such unwavering commitment inevitably delivers results,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor said all new recruits are heirs to this noble legacy and they will enrich it further. He said every uniform of the Jammu & Kashmir Police tells a story of courage, commitment, and purpose woven into the fabric of the nation’s history.
“Each time you put on the uniform, remember that you are adding a proud chapter to its legacy. Take pride in the ideals of defence and service that the Jammu & Kashmir Police embodies, for they define both your duty and your honour,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor also commended the Jammu Kashmir Police for its swift and effective action against the drug smugglers and drug peddlers during the ongoing Nasha Mukt Jammu Kashmir Campaign.
“J&K Police has laid out a comprehensive plan to completely choke drug entry routes. I am confident that the actions in the coming days will be stringent, and will yield major successes,” he said.
Over 3200 newly recruited constables were inducted into the Jammu Kashmir Police Force today, said an official.
Atal Dulloo, Chief Secretary; Nalin Prabhat, DGP J&K; Chandraker Bharti, Principal Secretary Home Department; SJM Gillani, Special DG Coordination PHQ; Abdul Ghani Mir, Commandant General Home Guards; Dr Mandeep K. Bhandari, Principal Secretary to Lieutenant Governor; senior officials of police and civil administration, and family members of new recruits attended the appointment letters presentation ceremony.
