Srinagar, Oct 26 (NVI) : Advisor to Chief Minister Nasir Aslam on Saturday stated that the system in Jammu and Kashmir cannot operate under dual control, where the Chief Minister focuses on one area while the LG handles security.

“J&K is not like other states. We have made commitments to the people, and we will fulfill them,” he said, adding that government should restore the statehood.

He noted that the government was formed a week ago and urged people to have patience and trust in the government they chose, assuring them that their issues will be addressed.

Regarding the Chief Minister’s meetings with the Home Minister, Defence Minister, and Prime Minister, he said that these discussions aimed to resolve common people’s issues, and they assured support for J&K’s progress.

On the Darbar move, he said that CM Omar Abdullah had already issued an order for its restoration, so there is no need for protests.

He also stated that the people mandated the National Conference, and the party is committed to resolving common issues, as J&K has been without elected representation for the last ten years.—(News Vibes of India)

Udhampur, Oct 25 (NVI) : General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-in-C), Northern Command, Lieutenant General M V Suchindra Kumar on Friday said that the Indian Army upholds the principle of ‘Service Before Self’ and is the key facilitator in Nation Building by ensuring security along the borders, Counter Terrorism operations, Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operations and Aid to Civil Authority.

“In the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir, our efforts are concentrating on breaking the cycle of violence and dismantling the terror ecosystem, empowering youth and women, facilitating education, promoting sports and reviving the rich historical and cultural legacy. The core of this strategy is to strengthen the relationship amongst the citizens and the soldiers, while encouraging nationalist and mainstream narratives, particularly amongst the youth,” he said while addressing a press conference.

He also said that these initiatives have not only fostered greater community engagement but also supported the successful execution of kinetic operations in the region.

“Through integrated military & social outreach efforts, we are contributing to the broader process of Nation-building. Our endeavours in Kinetic and Non-kinetic operations have facilitated greater security. Anti Infiltration grid along the Line of Control and focused Counter Terrorism operations in the hinterland have ensured an environment of peace and development in the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir,” he said.

He also said that there is a synergy between the Indian Army, civil administration, Central Armed Police Forces, Police and Intelligence Agencies which has paid rich dividends. “We are simultaneously focused on the capability development in the Northern Theatre. Multiagency infrastructure development drive is underway along the northern borders enhancing forward area connectivity. A variety of weapon platforms and equipment are under procurement. Major impetus has also been given to upgrade/overhaul/ modify and refurbish existing equipments to enhance the operational capability,” he said

“At the same time you must be aware that the Foreign Secretary, Mr Vikram Misri in his statement on 21 Oct 2024 has stated that over the last several weeks, Indian and Chinese diplomatic and military negotiators have been in close contact with each other in a variety of forums. And as a result of these discussions, agreement has been arrived at on patrolling arrangements along the Line of Actual Control in the India-China border areas, leading to disengagement and a resolution of the issues that had arisen in these areas in 2020,” he said.

He said that the Indian Army is also a major participant in the Make In India initiative to transform itself into a modern, Atmanirbhar and technologically advanced force.

Northern Command with its focus on Operations has itself remained at the forefront of this drive. We are working in close coordination with the industry to develop niche technology equipments to further augment our capability.

“In addition to our role in internal & external security of the nation, we are also focusing on carrying out development activities in the region. Operation Sadbhavana Projects are being undertaken to execute development activities in border / remote areas of the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. We are providing quality education to a large number of students from the Union Territories in the Army Goodwill Schools. Students are also being sponsored to study outside the Union Territories through Jammu & Kashmir Special Scholarship Scheme and Army Public School residential School programs which are being conducted by us,” he said.

“In the end, I would like to highlight the peace, prosperity and improved security situation in J&K due to concerted and synergised efforts of the Indian Army and all other agencies/ stake holders. Indian Army will forever strive to provide a secure environment to the people of Union Territories of J&K and Ladakh,” he added.  (News Vibes of India)
