Those that backed terrorism, its eco-system, and illegitimate government employment will pay the price; The 360-degree strategy used by Jammu security personnel has eased the situation; Have attained achievement, more predicted in days ahead, No action will be done against J&K’s popularity; Rich individuals pay electricity bill, make terrible decisions at correct moment.
Jammu, August 20: The lieutenant governor of Jammu and Kashmir stated on Sunday that regardless of what anyone says, the Indian Constitution permits the UT administration to take tough measures against those who threaten national integrity, have supported terrorism and its eco-system, and have “enjoyed government jobs through illegal means.”
According to Kashmir News Observer (KNO), the LG told reporters on the sidelines of the launch of the Green Jammu and Kashmir Driver 2023-34 from IIM Jammu that it doesn’t matter who says what because the Indian Constitution contains a clause that says, “Go tough, rather hard against those who pose threat to State/nation’s integrity and sovereignty.”
According to him, the J&K administration has made the decision to take harsh action against anybody who has supported terrorism, its ecosystem, or obtained government employment via “illegal means.” Therefore, it is irrelevant who says what, the LG explained. His comments came a day after Sajad Bazaz, the chief manager of J&K Bank, was fired on the excuse that the bank had received “credible reports against him from the agencies.” “Anyone who has supported terror and its eco-system will have to face the music,” he said.
In response to a question, the LG said that Kashmir has historically been a top target for terrorists. Security organisations used a 360-degree strategy in Kashmir to combat terrorism. The Jammu area is now using the same strategy. When asked whether two terrorists who are thought to be responsible for the Dhangri murders and assault on an army convoy had been killed in recent encounters, he said, “We have gained some success in Jammu and more is anticipated shortly.
Regarding the installation of smart metres and public outcry, the LG said that administration would not act against the interests of the people. “However, it is also true that the J&K government has spent Rs 20,000 Cr on electricity purchases over the last several years. The government will make decisions for the needy at the appropriate moment, and the affluent should pay their electricity bills, the LG remarked.
