Srinagar, April 17: The Jammu and Kashmir Police on Thursday stated that security forces remain on high alert in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district due to the persistent threat of terrorism. Authorities have also intensified efforts to combat cross-border narcotics smuggling, with 100 families linked to the Line of Control (LoC) under surveillance and five facing property seizure for alleged involvement in smuggling activities.

Speaking to the press, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Gurinderpal Singh remarked, “The terrorist threat is not confined to Jammu alone. We continue to receive daily intelligence inputs regarding terrorist movements in Baramulla, particularly owing to its proximity to the LoC.”

“While the security situation has improved over the years, the danger remains. Security forces are maintaining full vigilance and taking proactive measures. The threat has not vanished, and we have neither let our guard down nor relaxed our operations to track and neutralise active militants,” he added.

SSP Singh emphasised that all security agencies are working in close coordination and are conducting operations with full force to prevent any terrorist activity. He reiterated the strong commitment of the forces to ensure peace and security in Baramulla.

Addressing the issue of cross-border drug smuggling, the SSP revealed that surveillance has been significantly increased to curb the inflow of narcotics into the district. Of the approximately 1,600 families in Baramulla with relatives across the LoC, around 100 have shown some connection to smuggling or aiding infiltrators.

“We are keeping a strict watch on these families. Five have been found actively involved in smuggling drugs or arms, or facilitating the movement of terrorists. Legal proceedings have been initiated against them, and their properties are being seized,” he stated.

He clarified that while having relatives across the LoC is not unlawful, engaging in illegal activities is a serious offence. “Those who believe they can evade the law should be aware that they will be held accountable,” he warned.

SSP Singh also mentioned that intelligence agencies are working in tandem with the police to monitor drug movements. Based on inputs, individuals are being detained to prevent narcotics from entering the region. If drugs do make it through, strict action is taken immediately under robust legislation such as the PIT-NDPS Act.

Reaffirming Baramulla Police’s zero-tolerance policy towards both terrorism and narco-smuggling, the SSP appreciated the contribution of local journalists in upholding responsible journalism. He encouraged them to continue playing a constructive role in society.

He concluded by stressing the importance of mutual collaboration in addressing social issues, countering misinformation, and promoting peace and communal harmony throughout the district. SSP Singh reiterated the police’s dedication to community engagement and transparent, citizen-centric policing.
