Lieutenant Governor, Shri Manoj Sinha said that the security forces are determined to dismantle terror ecosystem but society too must join the fight and discharge its duties.

“Society must actively counter terrorism because it is a multifaceted challenge and society plays a critical role in recognizing and reporting suspicious terror activities and counter the radicalization efforts,” he said.

The Lieutenant Governor was addressing a special convocation ceremony at University of Jammu.

The Lieutenant Governor said if the people doesn't stand up strongly against terrorists, then it will become the existential threat for society and destroy its stability, peace and progress.

“I want to request the enlightened people that it is the need of the hour to expose those who give shelter to terrorists and creating extremist narratives.  You must stand against such elements," the Lieutenant Governor said. 

He underscored that the terrorism poses a fundamental threat to the peace and progress and the people of Jammu Kashmir have suffered its brunt for more than three decades.

“But now the youth here are increasingly dreaming of and working towards goals similar to those in rest of the country and desire for a better life and career," the Lieutenant Governor said.
