Jammu, Jan 25: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said that the era of peace and prosperity has started in Jammu and Kashmir but he vowed to eradicate the menace of terrorism from this part of the country.
Addressing a function after launching the e-bus service in Jammu through video conferencing from New Delhi Union Home Minister said that now Jammu and Kashmir is going through a phase of change and instead of terrorism, bomb blasts, firing, stone pelting, and strikes, studies, schools, colleges, various institutions, industries, and infrastructure are being seen here.
He said that due to the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a new era of peace and security has started in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Home Minister said that after the abrogation of Article 370, there has been a 70 percent decline in total terrorism-related incidents, an 81 percent reduction in civilian deaths, and a 48 percent decline in the death of security forces, this shows that a new era of happiness and peace has begun in Jammu and Kashmir.
He said that there were 2654 incidents of organized stone pelting in 2010, which were reduced to zero in 2023.
“There were 132 incidents of organized strikes in 2010, while not a single incident took place in 2023”, he said, adding, “Similarly in 2010, 112 civilians died in stone pelting, in 2023 not a single civilian died and in 2010 the number of civilians injured in stone pelting was 6235, which is zero today”. Amit Shah added that the Modi government is strictly cracking down on terror financing, sealing and freezing assets of terrorists, and has also outlawed several terrorist organizations to crack down on them.
Union Home Minister said that today is the “National Voters Day” and our country functions in a democratic system and its smallest unit is the voter of the country.
The Home Minister exhorted all youth above 18 years of age to register their names in the electoral rolls, become part of the democratic process, and strengthen democracy in India and Jammu and Kashmir.
He said that after Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister, Panchayat elections were held in Jammu and Kashmir in 2018 in which 74 percent of voting took place, Block Development Councils (BDCs) elections were held in October 2019 in which 98 percent of voting was recorded and 3650 Sarpanches were elected in 4483 constituencies.
“In this way, the Modi government has given an opportunity to 35,000 Panches, Sarpanches, and public representatives of local bodies to work in a democracy”, he said, adding, “Now fresh delimitation is taking place here in which reservation arrangements are being made so that the deprived people will be able to get their rights”.

These include 96 officers of the Jammu & Kashmir Administrative Service, 63 officers of the Account Gazette Service, and 50 officers of the Police Service.
He said that from today a new beginning is being made in the lives of these officers and the thinking of these officers at this point in time will help in paving the way for their entire lives. Shah said that due to the transparent system under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's regime, these officers have got these jobs on the basis of merit. He said that during Modi’s tenure, jobs were provided not on the basis of recommendation slips but on the basis of examination papers. He said that earlier it was impossible to get a job without political recommendation or corruption.
