Congratulating the 430 trainee constables on successfully completing their tough training, the Lieutenant Governor called upon them to safeguard the achievements made in Jammu and Kashmir in recent years.

“J&K Police has been instrumental in forging a terror-free, crime-free UT where no insecurity overshadows civilian lives. The force has played a pivotal role in achieving remarkable milestones in good governance, innovation, social unity, and building a just society,” he said.

Calling for firm action against divisive forces, he added,“We must uproot separatist elements trying to divide people and derail development. Let this serve as their stern warning.”

The Lieutenant Governor observed that every man and woman donning the J&K Police uniform pledges to exceed public expectations with superior standards. He emphasised that public trust must remain central to policing.

“From today, public trust is your greatest asset. Earn it relentlessly through integrity, impartiality, and empathy. Your role transcends enforcing law; embody its spirit and soul. Uphold every citizen's dignity in protection,” he said.

Reiterating the force's commitment, Sinha said J&K Police stands fully dedicated to peace, security, and democratic values, ensuring that every citizen scales new heights of progress in tranquillity.

Highlighting the counter-terror approach, he said a comprehensive multi-pronged strategy is being implemented with all stakeholder agencies.“With all resources and resolve, J&K Police is pursuing zero tolerance to terrorism. Soon, Jammu and Kashmir will be terror-free,” he said.
