Srinagar, March 22 (NationPress) On Saturday, the J&K Police took action by demolishing an illegal structure associated with a Pakistan-based terror handler in the Anantnag district.
In a collaborative effort with the district administration, Anantnag Police razed an unlawfully erected house and plinth at Rekha Hassanpora, effectively reclaiming encroached state land.
As per a police statement, the property was owned by Haroon Rashid Ganie, the son of Abdul Rashid Ganie, who is a recognized terror handler linked with the proscribed group, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
Operating from Pakistan since 2018, Haroon Rashid Ganie has been accused of planning terror activities aimed at undermining national security and sovereignty.
"This operation is part of an ongoing initiative to dismantle terror networks and eliminate their support structures. Anantnag Police will continue to enforce strict measures against terror operatives and their facilitators, reaffirming its unwavering stance against terrorism in the district," the statement indicated.
The Anantnag Police emphasized its dedication to maintaining law and order and ensuring that no individual or group exploits government land for illicit purposes.
In the fight against terrorism, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has led three security review meetings regarding J&K in the past three months.
He has issued clear directives to the security forces to maintain zero tolerance for infiltration and terrorism.
Jammu and Kashmir Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha also conducted two consecutive security review meetings, instructing the security forces to dismantle the terror ecosystem comprising terrorists, their over-ground workers (OGWs), and sympathizers.
Manoj Sinha noted that funds generated from drug trafficking, hawala money rackets, and Benami transactions ultimately support terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, emphasizing that the war against terrorism must extend beyond just armed terrorists.
