A week before the first anniversary of abrogation of Article 370 on August 5, Jammu and Kashmir DG Dilbag Singh said the Union Territory is performing better in all parameters of security. He said, “We have fared better in security parameters with 73% drop in law and order issues and 40% drop in terror-related activities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IG Kashmir Vijay Kumar has said, “75% of local militants have been neutralised and security forces will now focus on going after foreign terrorists.” Nearly 150 terror operatives have been neutralised in the past six months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There has been restriction on high speed mobile internet in the region since last year and the authorities have allowed only 2G internet to continue. DG Singh said, “A desperate Pakistan is trying to foment trouble by misusing the internet, hence the decision to continue with 2G. It is to avoid misuse by troublemakers”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Further, he said, \u201cWe have eased internet restrictions over the past one year from no communications, to allowing phone calls, landlines and eventually mobile phones, but the speed restriction is to limit Pakistani elements from indulging in mischief.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, with indications of politics resuming in the state and political workers being targeted, Dilbag Singh said, “Pakistan\u2019s ISI has targeted political workers and cops in a desperate bid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adding to this he said, \u201cWe are trying to provide security based on threat assessment.\u201d IG Kashmir chipped in saying \u201c100 percent security coverage may not be possible for all political workers.\u201d J&K police has worked on providing personal security officers as well as in strengthening security apparatus. Even as there are signs that there may be resumption of political activity in the UT of J&K, political leaders including Ajay Pandita and BJP’s Waseem Bari were killed in terror attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Security to several leaders was given by J&K police, irrespective of party affiliations. Although there have been allegations that some workers targeted did not get adequate security while it was withdrawn from several other workers.
Regarding Political leaders still under detention after a year, including PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, J&K cops told that it is a decision taken by the administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
