JAMMU: The BJP led union government is leaving no stone unturned in its mission to eradicate terrorism from Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). With a steadfast commitment to restoring peace, prosperity, and self-reliance in the region, the deployment of elite National Security Guard (NSG) commandos has been supplemented by two new battalions of the Border Security Force (BSF), comprising over 2,000 personnel. These forces will strengthen border defenses, combat infiltration, and suppress terrorist activities in the Jammu region.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) executive member Raman Suri hailed the governmentās decisive action, emphasizing its zero-tolerance policy toward terrorism and its supporters. āThis BJP-led government is committed to maintaining the sovereignty of our nation and ensuring peace for the people of J&K,ā he said. āGone are the days when anti-national elements operated with impunity. We are determined to build an atmosphere conducive to development and nation-building.ā
The fresh BSF deployment will act as a āsecond line of defenseā behind existing border forces, covering vulnerable areas in Jammu and its surrounding regions. Security officials revealed that multiple points equipped with 24/7 CCTV surveillance have been established along the International Border (IB) with Pakistan to curb infiltration, arms smuggling, and drug trafficking. This strategic move will plug gaps in areas like Samba and other sensitive locations along the Jammu-Punjab boundary.
Raman Suri further highlighted the ongoing crackdown on āwhite-collared terrorist sympathizersā embedded in government departments, businesses, and NGOs. āThis government is committed to cleansing the system of anti-national elements operating under various disguises,ā he said. āSuch individuals misguide our youth and alienate communities, but their days are numbered.ā Recent firing of employees from the jobs is indicative enough for anti-nationals to mend their ways or else face elimination.
The enhanced security grid comes after a spate of terrorist attacks in 2024 across districts like Rajouri, Poonch, Udhampur, and Kathua, which resulted in over 40 deaths, including 18 security personnel. Despite these challenges, security forces have neutralized several terrorists this year, reaffirming the governmentās resolve to ensure law and order in J&K.
The NSG commandos, along with advanced intelligence operations, are actively working to identify and neutralize threats, including cross-border tunnels and terror networks in dense forests and mountainous terrains. Officials noted that this integrated approach would not only prevent attacks but also secure the livelihoods of civilians in the region.
Raman Suri asserted , āThe deployment of NSG and additional BSF forces reflects the Centreās commitment to safeguarding every citizen of J&K. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modiās leadership, the government is resolute in ensuring that peace and prosperity become a reality for all in the Union Territory.ā With these measures, the Centre aims to usher in a new era of stability and development for Jammu and Kashmir, creating opportunities for growth and strengthening the fabric of the nation.
