'They Will be Taken Care of': J&K Top Cop Warns Those Threatening Civilians In Kashmir

Amid incidents of terrorists threatening people in Kashmir against venturing out of their homes, Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbag Singh on Wednesday said patrolling has been intensified and various other measures initiated to instill confidence among locals.

Police are conscious of these threats and over the past month, a couple of terrorists were neutralized and over two dozen others, including their sympathizers, arrested in the Valley, he said, adding that the people have not responded to the Pakistani propaganda and foiled Islamabad’s designs to create unrest.

“We are with the people and they are with us. We will not allow any harm to come to them. Those who are threatening them will be taken care of and the terrorists will be neutralized,” the DGP told reporters on the sidelines of a function here. Singh said there is a large presence of terrorists across the Line of Control (LoC) but expressed confidence that the counter-infiltration grid will take care of the threat.

On terrorists threatening orchardists, shopkeepers and setting a car ablaze in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Tuesday, the top cop said, “Two militants, who burnt down a car after beating its driver in Sopore yesterday, have been identified as Sajjad and Muzaffar of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). We will take care of them very soon.”
