“We are fully prepared and geared up for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls in J&K. Our primary goal is to provide a safe and secure atmosphere for enthusiastic voters,” stated the DGP during the press interaction. He emphasized the police force’s dedication to facilitating a smooth electoral process and safeguarding the citizens’ right to vote without fear or intimidation.

Addressing concerns about the nexus between narco-terror and terrorism, the DGP shed light on the evolving understanding of their connection. Initially harboring doubts, he revealed, “As investigations progressed, concrete evidence emerged that narco-trade and terrorism are not only linked but deeply interconnected. Terrorist outfits such as Al-Badr, Jaish-e-Muhammad, and Lashkar-e-Toiba are actively involved in this trade.”

Despite the challenges, he assured the public of the police force’s robust mechanism to curb and dismantle this nefarious trade. “It is not an easy task, but we are actively addressing it, and the police force is capable of handling the situation effectively,” he affirmed.

In conclusion, the DGP’s statements underscore the pivotal role of the police force in maintaining law and order during elections and combating the intertwined issues of narco-terrorism, emphasizing their commitment to ensuring a secure environment for the electoral process in Jammu and Kashmir.
