Jammu: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi and wished him a blissful Vijayadashmi on Tuesday.
“Met Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji today and wished him a blissful Vijayadashmi”, Lieutenant Governor said on X.
He also presented ‘Kong Posh’ (Saffron Flowers) to the Prime Minister on behalf of the people of J&K UT.
A photograph on the X account of the Office of LG showed Lieutenant Governor Sinha presenting a Kashmiri Paper Machie bowl of saffron flowers to Modi.
Sinha had said in Jammu on Monday the security situation in the Union Territory has improved significantly and terrorism is “taking its last breath” there.
Accommodations for employees belonging to the Kashmiri Pandit community in Kashmir have been arranged, and allocation will be completed expeditiously, he said.
“The security situation is better than it was in the past. With confidence, I can say that terrorism is taking its last breath,” Sinha said while addressing Kashmiri Pandits at Mata Bhadrakali shrine on the outskirts of Jammu city.
Sinha said that in the past, militants have targeted soft spots to instil fear within the community.
“The neighbouring country is deliberately attempting to keep the pot of terrorism boiling in J-K. We are making every effort to ensure the security of vulnerable groups, including Kashmiri Pandits and minorities. The police and security forces are working tirelessly towards this goal,” he had said.
Jammu-based Mata Bhadrakali temple, a replica of a temple located in Kupwara district of north Kashmir, celebrated Maha Navami which was attended by LG Sinha and Kashmiri Pandits from various parts of Jammu.
Sinha had said the government employees from the Kashmiri Pandit community will be offered land at subsidised rates in Srinagar for housing purposes.
“We will ensure this arrangement is made promptly. My administration and office are open for the people of the community to address their genuine concerns,” he had said.
“Enhanced security measures will be implemented at these accommodations across Kashmir. A proposal has been submitted to the Home Ministry and we expect a prompt response leading to its implementation,” he had added.
