Jammu and Kashmir Police Chief RR Swain stated on Saturday that the police are fully focused and taking steps to maintain the ongoing peaceful and fearless atmosphere in the UT for the upcoming Assembly polls, scheduled by September this year.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a Public Grievance Redressal event in Pulwama, the DGP emphasized the police’s commitment to ensuring a peaceful and fearless environment in J&K for the elections.
“We understand the importance of peace and a fearless atmosphere. When there is no fear, people will come out to vote. We are focused and taking steps to maintain the peaceful and fearless atmosphere in the UT for the upcoming Assembly polls,” DGP Swain said. “We hope the high voter turnout in the Lok Sabha polls will trigger a virtuous security cycle in J&K.”
Addressing a query, the DGP noted a shift from resident to foreign terrorism. “Our efforts to keep youth away from guns have been successful, saving many families from ruin. However, foreign terrorism persists. Around 70 to 80 foreign terrorists have infiltrated with arms and ammunition, recently attempting to sabotage an electricity tower,” he said.
Earlier, at the Public Darbar, the DGP emphasized tough action against a few culprits to provide relief to the majority and ensure policing is based on “truth and justice.”
The DGP stressed that police must serve the people and work collaboratively with them. “We sometimes have to act against a few culprits to provide relief to the majority,” he said.
He added that no effort is being spared, with regular discussions among officers to ensure policing is conducted with truth and justice. “Mistakes may happen, but the police must correct their own errors,” he said, without citing specific incidents.
DGP Swain also noted that while administrations change, the police remain a constant presence, always connected to the people.
