LG Manoj Sinha Reaffirms Army’s Strength & Commitment to Eradicate Terrorism in J&K

In Jammu and Kashmir, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has reaffirmed the Indian Army’s ability to handle any situation along the borders. Speaking on the sidelines of a sports event in Jammu yesterday, the LG assured that the Army is providing a strong and befitting response to enemy forces. The LG emphasised that there will be no pause in anti-terror operations, as security agencies have been directed to eradicate terrorism and ensure peace in the region.

His remarks come in the aftermath of an IED attack in the Akhnoor sector on February 11, which claimed the lives of two Army personnel,



including a captain. Additionally, two soldiers sustained injuries in separate instances of cross-border firing in Rajouri and Poonch districts, while another was wounded in a landmine explosion last week. 

The LG said the ceasefire violations along the borders in J&K have been rare since India and Pakistan reaffirmed the ceasefire agreement on February 25, 2021. The LG further stated that security forces, including the police, are working in close coordination, with explicit instructions to dismantle the terror infrastructure.
