Jammu: Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha on Tuesday issued a stern warning to separatist elements, asserting that any attempt to divide people or obstruct development in the Union territory will be dealt with firmly.
Sinha said any individual or group seeking to threaten peace, law and order, or the safety of civilians in Jammu and Kashmir will have to pay a very heavy price.
“We must uproot separatist elements who are trying to divide people and derail development. Let this serve as a stern warning for them,” the L-G said while addressing the passing-out parade of constables at the Subsidiary Police Training Centre in Talwara.
He said any attempt to disrupt peace, undermine commercial activity, or incite violence shall be met with the full force of the law, and Jammu and Kashmir Police is unequivocal in its commitment to safeguard order and stability and will pursue all necessary measures against such acts without exception.
Congratulating the “bravehearts” of Jammu and Kashmir Police on completing the tough training, the L-G called upon them to focus on protecting the Union territory. “Jammu and Kashmir Police has been instrumental in forging a terror-free, crime-free Union territory where no insecurity overshadows civilian lives. The force has played a pivotal role in achieving remarkable milestones in good governance, innovation, social unity, and building a just society.”
The L-G observed that every person donning the Jammu and Kashmir Police uniform pledges to exceed public expectations with superior standards. “From today, public trust is your greatest asset — earn it relentlessly through integrity, impartiality, and empathy. Your role transcends enforcing law; embody its spirit and soul. I trust you will uphold every citizen’s dignity.”
He stated that Jammu and Kashmir Police is committed to peace, security, and democratic values, ensuring every citizen scales new heights of progress.
“With all resources and resolve, Jammu and Kashmir Police pursues zero tolerance towards terrorism. We are working on a multi-pronged strategy with all stakeholder agencies, and soon the Union territory will be terror-free,” he said.
A total of 430 trainee constables passed out after completing their basic training, and all were administered oath during the Tuesday ceremony.
On the occasion, the L-G awarded trophies to those who excelled during training: Johnny Victor (All-Round Best), Vishal Bharat (Second All-Round Best), Yogesh Sharma (Third All-Round Best), Pankaj Raina (Indoor Best), Touseef Ahmed Lone (Outdoor Best), Tahir Rashid Dar (Best Marksman), Tasleem Kosar (Parade Commander) and Sushant Sharma (Parade Second-in-Command).
Director General of Police Nalin Prabhat and other senior officials were also present on the occasion.
