Ganderbal: Director General of Police (DGP) Nalin Prabhat on Friday said that J&K Police was strengthening the counter militancy grid and efforts are on to tackle the cyber criminals.
Addressing a passing out parade here in Central Kashmir, DGP Prabhat said, “We are thankful to Centre and Ministry of Home Affairs for providing us with all the support and help.”
The DGP said, “J&K Police are committed to stand by with the families of martyrs. ” Congratulating the pass outs, the DGP said, “You have become the part of one of the best police forces in the country. I see discipline and resolve in you and wish you all the best for your future.”
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Governor said cryptocurrency is being used in narco dealings as the dark web is emerging as the new marketplace for drug trade.
Speaking at the passing out parade at Police Training School, Manigam, in central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district, Sinha said technology is changing at a very rapid pace and the use of new technology outside the training schools, and upgradation of skills to tackle the challenges put up by enemies are the need of the hour.
“The threat of drug smuggling has not remained conventional now. Smugglers and narco-terrorists are changing their ways of communication every day. Dark web is emerging as the new marketplace for drug trade, and cryptocurrency is being used in place of conventional transactions,” Sinha said.
The LG said the misuse of new technologies has expanded organised crime and increased the number of cybercrime incidents as well.
“In such a situation, you have to implement a policy of continuous innovation to remain a step ahead of the criminals. I hope the J-K Police force is dedicated and ready to tackle all these challenges,” he said, assuring that the J-K administration and the central government stand with the security forces with full might.
Appreciating the security forces for curbing terror incidents in Kashmir to a large extent, Sinha said attempts were being made to revive terrorism in the Jammu region.
“In the last few years, J-K Police, Army and other security forces have succeeded to a large extent in controlling terrorism in the Kashmir valley. Attempts are being made to revive terrorism in the Jammu region, which was peaceful in comparison. I have faith in J-K Police. It is the collective resolve of J-K Police and other security forces to make both Jammu and Kashmir regions terror-free,” he said.
The LG said he was sure the way the security forces succeeded in putting brakes on terror incidents in the Kashmir valley, “you will repeat that resolve in Jammu”.
“All the agencies have to come together as a strong team to take a resolve to uproot the neighbouring country’s conspiracy,” he added.
He asserted that the Jammu and Kashmir Police has to be made a future-ready police force which is equipped technologically, and capable of tackling emerging challenges of terrorism and crime.
