Jammu, DD, National Conference Additional General Secretary and Former Minister, Mr. Ajay Kumar Sadhotra, today expressed deep concern over the rising terror incidents in the Jammu Region, emphasizing the urgent need for decisive
action to eliminate the menace of terrorism and restore lasting peace.
Addressing a public meeting at Lower Roop Nagar in Jammu North Assembly Constituency which was organized by Thakur Manohar Singh Manhas, Sandeep Singh Manhas and Vishwinder Singh Samyal, YNC District Vice President, Mr Sadhotra condemned the Kathua terrorist attack and paid rich tributes to the four brave hearts of the J&K Police for their unparalleled bravery and for taking on the terrorists from the front. He saluted their sacrifices and commitment in ensuring the safety and security of the people, reaffirming that such acts of courage deserve the highest appreciation and support from the entire nation.
Expressing concern over the growing sense of insecurity among the people, Mr. Sadhotra said that peace is the cornerstone of development and a pre-requisite for the regionโs progress. He stressed that without stability and security, the aspirations of the people and the growth of Jammu and Kashmir would remain hindered. The incidents like Kathua and recently in Reasi are detrimental for
peace in the Jammu region, which is most thronged pilgrim destination of northern India in particular and the country in general. These incidents leave a
sense of insecurity among the populace and the visiting pilgrims, hindering daily life and impeding economic activities, he added.
