| Free, fair polls: Security forces asked to sanitize polling stations two days ahead of polling | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 30 : Companies of additional paramilitary forces, which are being deployed for poll duty in Jammu and Kashmir, have been asked to sanitize two-km areas around each polling station atleast two days ahead of scheduled polling in order to ensure that militants have not installed any explosive devices or IEDs.
According to official sources, Security forces have been directed to carry out search operations in collaboration with the police and that too on specific intelligence inputs for flushing out militants who were in the look out of opportunities for triggering violence which could force voters to remain indoors on the days of polling.
Besides this police authorities too have been told to arrest those political activists from the separatist camps who were found to be engaged in carrying out anti-poll campaign. Sources said that separatists were trying to organize conference and secret session with groups of heads of various villages for motivating them to launch a vigorous campaign against peoples' participation in the process of election. Intelligence inputs received by the Government agencies indicate that separatists aided by militants may start dishing out threats to people warning them against dire consequences in case they went out to cast their votes.
In this connection security forces have been told to keep a watch on such elements and detain them whenever and wherever they were found threatening people against participation in the election process.
Meanwhile troops deployed on the LOC and the IB have been directed to remain on the alert till the poll process was over because agencies across the border were eager to push groups of militants into Jammu and Kashmir for wrecking the poll process.
In addition to this security forces have been told to launch counter insurgency operations in various areas of the Kashmir valley and in some belts of Udhampur, Rajouri, Poonch, Doda and Kishtwar districts where militants have carved out their hideouts.
These operations needed to be launched on the pattern one witnessed in Handwara where during the last four days four militants belonging to Lashkar-i-Toiba (LeT) were killed. |
