Lieutenant Governor Jammu and Kashmir Manoj Sinha on Monday said that some elements on the other side are attempting to create instability, they can’t digest the robust economy & tourism in Kashmir Valley
Talking about the recent spate of killings in Kashmir, Manoj Sinha said, “Some elements on the other side are attempting to create instability, they can’t digest the robust economy and tourism here.”
He said, “People of Kashmir understand (the current situation in the Valley)… When the lamp is about to go off, its flame flares more.”
“Administration & security forces are preparing to their full capacity,” he said.
On Friday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah chaired a high-level security review meeting on Jammu and Kashmir in the wake of a series of targeted killings in the Union Territory.
The move comes in the wake of the recent killings of Kashmiri Pandits in Jammu and Kashmir. Kashmiri Pandits are holding protests in Srinagar against the killings by militants.
A 36-year-old migrant Kashmiri Pandit and high school teacher Rajni Bala was shot dead by militants in the Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday.
Earlier this month, two civilians – including Kashmiri Pandit employee Rahul Bhat — and three off-duty policemen were killed in Kashmir by the terrorists.
These deaths follow a series of killings that have been happening since August 5, 2019, the day when the Union government stripped Jammu and Kashmir of its special status and downgraded it to Union territory while simultaneously bifurcating the region into Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh UTs.
