GG News Bureau
Jammu, 20th April. Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha on Tuesday gave a stern warning to those targeting civilians and said that the security forces are capable of establishing peace in Jammu and Kashmir by “destroying the ecosystem of the terror network”.
Speaking to reporters at Raj Bhawan, Sinha said, “Gone are the times when peace used to be bought in Jammu and Kashmir. We don’t buy peace, we will establish it. We will destroy the entire ecosystem of terrorism.”
Responding to a question on the threat issued by The Resistance Front, a front of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), to the upcoming Amarnath Yatra, the LG said that the security agencies in J&K are capable of giving a befitting reply.
“I would not add anything to what the Inspector General of Police in Kashmir said yesterday — our security agencies are capable enough to establish peace,” Sinha said.
Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha said that the security forces have already broken the “backbone” of terrorism in Kashmir and those trying to disturb peace would also be punished.
He further said that post the abrogation of Article 370, J&K has attained an investment of over Rs 38,082 crore, which would also generate employment opportunity for over four lakh youths in the Union Territory.
Sinha added that several major global investors in the health, food processing and real estate sector have shown interest and in the coming months, the union territory will see more investment.
Speaking about the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Jammu on April 24, Manoj Sinha said, “The Prime Minister has always given utmost priority to Jammu and Kashmir… I am thankful to the Prime Minister for choosing Jammu and Kashmir to observe the Panchayati Raj Diwas. He would be addressing the panchayats of the entire country from here and it is our honor.”
“The aim is to provide ease of living to the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Post 2019, Jammu and Kashmir has joined the mainstream of development with the rest of the country. We are working towards bringing in accountability and transparency in the system,” Sinha said.
Sinha said that on his visit, PM Modi will inaugurate the first solar panchayat in Palli village. He will also lay the foundation stone of two more hydro power projects in the region.
“Palli will not be the only solar village, but it will be a model to be implemented in other Panchayats,” Sinha said.
