Srinagar, April 18 (NationPress) Manoj Sinha, the Lieutenant Governor (L-G) of Jammu and Kashmir, remarked on Friday that the police force of the state is esteemed nationwide for its professionalism, unwavering grit, and determination.

The L-G was present at the Passing Out Parade for the 16th batch of the Basic Recruit Training Course (BRTC) conducted by Jammu and Kashmir Police at the Manigam police training centre in Ganderbal district.

L-G Sinha honored the courage of the Jammu and Kashmir Police and urged the new recruits to serve with diligence and high professionalism to safeguard the nation.

"The nation appreciates the J&K Police for their invaluable sacrifices. Citizens enjoy peace and freedom because they trust that our police force is steadfast in protecting lives and combating terrorism and crime."

"The remarkable courage shown by the J&K Police and their supreme heroism reassures the community that the Union Territory is secure."

"Currently, the J&K Police Force is respected across the nation for its professionalism, persistent grit, and determination. In recent years, the J&K Police Force, along with the Army and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), have successfully diminished terrorism in the Kashmir Valley; however, rising terrorist incidents in the Jammu division are concerning."

"Our commitment is to eradicate terrorism from both the Jammu and Kashmir divisions."

"The J&K Police Force must adapt to new technologies and utilize them to improve their operational capabilities."

"We require a future-ready police force equipped to effectively tackle evolving threats from terror and organized crime."

"Given the rapid technological advancements, our strategy should focus on data-centric policing to effectively address challenges, analyze crime trends, and predict patterns to make necessary adjustments in investigations."

"I am confident that besides their professional skills, the life values instilled in the new recruits at the Manigam Police Training School—such as courage, valor, patience, self-sacrifice, and discipline—will prepare them to confront all challenges ahead," stated L-G Sinha.

The L-G emphasized that the J&K Police, Army, and CAPFs are unwavering in their mission to eliminate terror.

"In recent years, the J&K Police Force, Army, and CAPFs have effectively reduced terrorism in the Kashmir Valley, yet increasing terrorist activities in the Jammu division remain a concern."

Wishing success to the passing out trainees, the L-G expressed that the skills, knowledge, and values acquired during their training will lay a solid foundation and enhance their abilities to fulfill their duties with utmost sensitivity.
