New Delhi: Reviewing the security situation of Jammu and Kashmir, Union Home Minister Amit Shah today said the “terror eco-system” must be dismantled for the well-being of the common people.
He said the terror eco-system comprises “elements that aid, abet and sustain the terrorist-separatist campaign” to the detriment of the well-being of common man.
At a meeting here which was attended by Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha and National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and other top officials, Shah reviewed the working of the security grid and on various actions being taken to reduce the incidents of terrorism over the last few years.
He asked security forces and the police to continue with the coordinated efforts through meticulous and well-planned counter-terrorism operations to wipe out terrorism.

Shah said it is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision to have a prosperous and peaceful Jammu & Kashmir.
To achieve it, security forces should strive to make the border and the Line of Control (LoC) impregnable, the Home Minister said.
Once the fear of cross-border movement of terrorists, arms and ammunition is eliminated, the people of Jammu & Kashmir would decisively defeat the proxy war with the help of security forces, he added.
The cases registered under the UAPA were also reviewed and it was stressed that investigation should be timely and effective, an official spokesman said.
The agencies concerned should work on improving capacities for ensuring quality investigation, Shah told the meeting.
The Home Minister appreciated the efforts of the security agencies and administration of the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir for the successful conduct of the Amarnath Yatra this year, which was held after a gap of two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The meeting was also attended by top officials of the Government of India, including the Army and paramilitary forces, and Jammu & Kashmir Government.
