CRPF Chief Orders Intensified Operations In Kashmir
The DG stressed the need for better real-time coordination among security forces and sustained intelligence-based operations to counter terrorist activities.
New Delhi: CRPF director-general G.P. Singh on Saturday directed the force to intensify counter-insurgency operations across Kashmir, strengthen the security grid and maintain heightened operational readiness to tackle terrorists and their support networks.
Singh issued the directions while chairing a security review meeting at the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) group centre in Srinagar, officials said.
The meeting came three days after an attack on a CRPF post in south Kashmir's Kulgam district left three personnel injured.
Senior officers and ground commanders of CRPF units deployed in the Valley attended the meeting.
The DG stressed the need for better real-time coordination among security forces and sustained intelligence-based operations to counter terrorist activities.
Singh also felicitated personnel involved in two successful operations, Ops Ashdhar and Ops Korag, conducted in Budgam in September, in which two foreign-origin Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists were killed.
He praised the personnel for their courage and professionalism under challenging conditions, saying intelligence-based operations had strengthened Kashmir's security framework.
