JAMMU, June 11: Gaurav Gupta, former General Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and Industries, Jammu, has expressed serious concern over the recent surge in terror incidents across the Jammu region, highlighting the alarming escalation of terrorist activities close to district Jammu.
In a statement issued here today, Gaurav Gupta emphasized the gravity of the recent terrorist attack on a bus carrying pilgrims in Reasi district, which serves as the base camp for the revered Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine. "The targeting of pilgrims in such a sacred and heavily visited area is deeply disturbing and underscores the urgent need for heightened security measures," he stated.
Gaurav highlighted the alarming progression of terrorist activities, from Dangri village in Rajouri to Poonch including terror attack on Army Truck , and now extending their reach to the Reasi district, where innocent pilgrims are being targeted. This disturbing trend underscores the urgent need for enhanced security measures and concerted efforts to safeguard the lives of civilians across the region, he said.
Drawing attention to the upcoming Machail Yatra in Kishtwar district and the imminent commencement of the Annual Kheer Bhawani Yatra and Amarnath Yatra, Gaurav expressed concern over the potential risks posed by these large-scale religious gatherings of devotees amidst the backdrop of escalating terrorist activities. "With lakhs of devotees expected to visit the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine from across the country, ensuring their safety and security must be paramount," he stressed.
Gaurav condemned the attempts by terrorist organizations to disrupt the peaceful atmosphere of the Jammu region, highlighting the grave threat posed to the lives and livelihoods of the local populace. He urged the Central Government to take serious note of the surge in terror incidents and to swiftly implement robust measures to address the growing security challenges.
"We cannot afford to underestimate the nefarious intentions of these terrorist elements, whose sole aim is to instill fear and sow discord among the people of Jammu and Kashmir," he said, adding that it's imperative that the Central Government takes proactive steps to safeguard the lives and well-being of our citizens."
Gaurav appealed to the J&K and Central Government to allocate additional resources and deploy enhanced security measures to combat the escalating threat of terrorism in the region. He called for a united effort from all stakeholders to ensure the safety and security of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. |
