Deal Firmly With Inimical Elements: Lg Murmu Tells Jk Police

Lieutenant Governor G C Murmu visited the police headquarters shortly after its reopening here on Monday as part of the bi-annual ‘darbar move’ and advised the officers to stay alert and deal firmly with elements inimical to the safety and security of the people.
Amid tight security arrangements, the Civil Secretariat, which is the seat of the Jammu and Kashmir government, and other offices reopened here after functioning for six months in Srinagar as part of the nearly 150-year-old ‘Darbar Move’ practice.
The bi-annual shift is the first after the state’s division into two Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh which came into existence on October 31.
Murmu appreciated the synergy between the police, Army, the Central Armed Police Forces, and the civil administration, and urged them to work with the same zeal to maintain peace and security in the newly created Union Territory, an official spokesperson said.
The Lt Governor received a guard of honor during his visit to the police headquarters and interacted with Director General of Police Dilbagh Singh and other senior police officers, the spokesperson said, adding the DGP briefed him about the law-and-order scenario and multiple challenges before the police.
