After recent incidents of cross-border firing and an IED attack triggered by terrorists along the LoC recently, Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday said Indian Army is giving befitting response to Pakistani troops on border.
He also said clear instructions have been given to security agencies to crush terrorism in J&K.
“Indian Army is fully capable and giving a befitting response on the border,” Sinha told reporters on the sidelines of a sports event here.
He was responding to a question on the recent incidents on the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu region where two army personnel, including a captain, were killed in an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attack carried out by suspected terrorists in Akhnoor sector of Jammu region on February 11.
Two army personnel were also injured in separate incidents of cross-border firing along the LoC in Rajouri and Poonch districts while one more army personnel was injured in a landmine explosion last week.
Sinha said the Indian army is fully capable of dealing with any type of situation on the borders and is giving a befitting response to enemy forces.
On the security situation in J&K, Lt Governor said police and other security agencies are working in close synergy. “Security agencies have been given clear instruction to crush terrorism in J&K and end this ecosystem”.
“There will be no pause in anti-terrorism operations in J&K. The top priority is to maintain peace and tranquility in J&K,” he said.
