Srinagar- Stating that more than 1,614 Jammu and Kashmir policemen laid down their lives over the past three decades while fighting Pakistan and its proxies, Director General of Police (DGP) Nalin Prabhat on Thursday reiterated the force's commitment to maintaining peace and stability in the Union Territory.

Addressing the closing ceremony of the 10th All India Police Games Judo Cluster at the Indoor Stadium here, DGP Prabhat said,“Supreme sacrifices of police martyrs stand as a testimony to the unwavering courage and commitment of the J&K Police.”

He added,“The J&K Police has played a pivotal role in fighting the enemies of peace. Our men continue to work with utmost dedication to ensure the safety and security of the people.”

The DGP highlighted that the police force has not only been at the forefront of counter-terrorism operations but has also actively engaged in youth outreach and sports initiatives across the Union Territory.“We conduct such programmes so that our connection with the locals remains strong and meaningful,” he said.

Referring to initiatives like 'Jashn-e-Dal' and other sporting events organized by the J&K Police, DGP Prabhat said thousands of people, including youth from different districts, participated in these events, which have become platforms for community bonding and talent promotion.

Expressing gratitude to the Union Home Ministry, he said,“I am thankful to the Ministry for sanctioning Rs 100 crore for sporting events and youth engagement programmes. This support will further strengthen our efforts to channel the energy of young people in positive directions.”

DGP Prabhat also praised the achievements of J&K policemen who have won medals at national and international events, bringing laurels to both the force and the Union Territory.
