| Increase deployment in police posts, stations to foil arms decamping | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 26: The state police authorities were being instructed to restructure deployment of policemen, including the SPOs at police stations and police posts in Jammu and Kashmir.
These instructions were being issued following two recent incidents in which militants stormed into the police posts in south Kashmir and decamped with rifles, ammunition and a wireless set. Reports said that a group of militants had stormed into a police post at Arigam in Pulwama district from where they decamped with four rifles and a wireless set.
In the beginning of the current month another group of militants had decamped with two rifles from a police post in Shopian. Following these two incidents the police authorities were exploring the possibility for increasing the deployment of policemen and SPOs in each police station and police post.
A senior police officer said, while referring to the Arigam incident, that deployment of four policemen, including two SPOs, was too meagre to repel any militant strike. He said that since there has been marked improvement in the security scenario in the state during the last one year the Government could easily increase the numerical strength of policemen in each station and police post in the state.
Another police officer said that the two incidents of rifle snatching in pulwama and Shopian indicate that militants have started feeling the pinch of weapon shortage and were trying to snatch rifles and ammunition from the police posts and stations.
He said that in order to prevent militants from repeating Pulwama and Shopian incidents elsewhere in Jammu and Kashmir there was need for upgrading police patrolling in areas which are still infested by militants.
Besides this if there is substantial increase in the number of policemen in each police station and post the men deployed in each post could keep four men on guard at a time leaving no scope for the militants for decamping with rifles from the posts and the stations.Field reports indicate that there is a demand from the police for fortifying each post and police station with high walls and gates which could make intrusion into these areas impossible. |
