Jammu and Kashmir is slowly moving towards a policy of zero terrorism, with the number of terror incidents and casualties at their lowest level, Director General of Police Dilbag Singh said on Saturday.
Security forces have neutralised 40 foreign terrorists and nine local militants so far this year, he said. Local involvement in terror activities has come down drastically, and the terrorists have been pushed out of villages and cities to the mountains due to the synergy among the forces.
Security forces, intelligence agencies and the civil administration are working together as a unique model to make Jammu and Kashmir terror free, he added. There has been zero violation of human rights and not a single civilian casualty in any law-and-order engagement over the last few years, he said.
Singh thanked the people of Jammu and Kashmir for cooperating with the forces.
At the third Northern Regional Police Coordination Committee meeting, senior officers discussed a wide range of topics related to terrorism, drugs menace, increasing trends in cybercrime and the use of drones for dropping drugs and contraband from across the border.
Discussions were also held on the creation of an inter-state database and communication channels between police forces, sharing intelligence on organised crime and human trafficking for better coordination.
A number of measures to enhance coordination among the forces in the region were proposed, including establishing a real-time information-sharing mechanism regarding inter-state criminal activities and making joint efforts to tackle cybercrime. It was also proposed to share good practices, including software applications, of different forces.
