| New Delhi mulls to review security to individuals in Kashmir | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, June 22: In the wake of the recent killing of a sarpanch Ajay Pandita in Anantnag by terrorists, the union Ministry of Home Affairs or MHA is mulling review of government security to individuals facing any new threat in Kashmir.
Sources said the MHA has asked the Jammu and Kashmir government to opt for review of security to individuals after getting inputs from the intelligence agencies.
More people are likely to get security in the coming weeks as the new formed terror outfit, the so called The Resistance Front has been targeting innocents.
Sources said the Lieutenant Governor GC Murmu is likely to call a meeting in this regard. Sources said apart from police and paramilitary forces, the meeting would be attended by senior officials from the Indian Army.
Sources said the MHA has told the Jammu and Kashmir government that the security agencies were “bound to ensure security and safety of each and every individual and that if any citizen faces a threat to life from terror groups the same should be taken care of with all responsibility.”
Sources said the CID wing of the Jammu and Kashmir Police would be assigned the job of talking to such individuals who could be facing threat to life and that “after taking all relevant points into account a decision would be taken.”
In the days after the February 14 Pulwama terror attack that left 40 paramilitary soldiers dead in 2019, the then governor's administration had withdrawn the police protection to large number of political workers and separatists.
The security to the politicians, however, was restored following criticism from the political parties.
Sources said security of some of the individuals, however, was not restored that time and was likely to restored in the coming days.
Sources said it would be the second big meet on security which Murmu would chair in the last four months.
On Feb 6, 2020, he chaired a joint security review meeting in Srinagar in which he took a detailed review of existing security arrangements in valley. |
