Jammu and Kashmir’s Director General of Police (DGP), Nalin Prabhat, made a landmark visit to the Lolab Valley, a region near the Line of Control (LOC) that has long been affected by terrorism. This visit marked the first time a police chief has toured the area. During his visit, DGP Prabhat assessed ongoing counter-terrorism operations and evaluated the preparedness of the security forces. He interacted with personnel from the JK Police’s SOG and the CRPF at the SOG Camp in Lolab, acknowledging their dedication in challenging circumstances. DGP Prabhat emphasized the necessity of sustained counter-insurgency measures to prevent infiltration and maintain peace in the Kashmir Valley. His presence aimed to raise the morale of local police and send a clear message against terror and violence. Locals welcomed the visit, viewing it as a significant step towards fostering trust and inclusion in the region. Security experts believe this visit will be crucial in reshaping Kashmir’s security strategy, focusing on vigilant oversight and community engagement. Counter-terror operations are currently underway across several districts in the Jammu region, with an emphasis on ground-level intelligence, enhanced surveillance, and the blocking of infiltration routes.
