BUDGAM: In a decisive move against terrorism and acting tough against ANEs, Police in Budgam detained two "hardcore" terrorist associates affiliated with terrorist ranks under the stringent Public Safety Act viz Tahir Ahmad Kumar son of Ab Hameed Kumar resident of Pakerpora and Shabir Ahmad Ganai son of Bashir Ahmad Ganai resident of Karpora Pakerpora.

The arrests followed sustained efforts and actionable intelligence indicating the involvement of the duo in providing active support to terrorist outfits operating in the region. By invoking the Public Safety Act, authorities have ensured their detention to prevent further threats to peace and public order.

The detained individuals were instrumental in facilitating terrorist activities, including movement, shelter, logistical support, and their continued engagement in anti-national activities, role in motivating local youth to join banned (terrorist) organisations. The imposition of the PSA was deemed necessary and their detention marks a significant step towards dismantling terrorist support networks in the district. Police have reaffirmed their resolve to act firmly against all elements endangering the safety and security of the region.
