Jammu and Kashmir’s Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbagh Singh has backed Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Bipin Rawat’s idea of starting a programme for counter-radicalisation of youth in the union territory. Asked if there is a need for de-radicalisation centres in Kashmir, Singh said such camps would help “those who have gone astray.” “If any such facility comes up in Kashmir that will be a good sign, it should happen. It’ll definitely help people, especially those who have gone astray,”. “If some sensible kind of arrangement is made where good people from civil society and experts who deal with the subject and relevant aspects of religion and other things… I think that will be a good development. That kind of things should be welcomed,” the police chief said.
