SHEIKH NAZIR
Ganderbal, Sep 22: A top police official on Thursday said that there were nearly 300 militants active in the state.
“There are only three militants active in Ganderbal district, while there are 300 militants active in the state,” Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police (Central Kashmir Range), Abdul Gani Mir told Greater Kashmir on sidelines of a function at District Police Lines here.
The DIG said that Ganderbal remained peaceful during last year’s summer unrest and no casualty was reported in any part of the district.
Earlier speaking on the occasion the DIG said the Police and security forces should exhibit maximum restraint during anti-militancy operations, and while maintaining law and order situations.
Mir said, “Cooperation of people has always encouraged our forces in dealing with challenging situations.”
Later the DIG distributed the ‘Parakam Padak’ among the seven policemen from
Ganderbal who had sustained injuries during maintaining law and order in the district.
