| Security agencies asked to prevent militants from repeating 1990 scenes | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Aug 6: The Government has called for improved coordination among various intelligence and security agencies following reports that militants were planning to hike incidents of subversive violence in Jammu and Kashmir.
Police sources said that militants were trying to recreate 1990 situation by dishing out threats to the media and to those whom they suspect as informers of police and the Army.
Sources said that soon after taking over as DG police, Ashok Prasad, has convened a meeting of senior officers where he emphasized the need for upgrading the security grid in order to counter effectively plan of the militants.
According to these sources, the number of police nakas and security pickets in sensitive areas of the state, besides the main business areas in Srinagar and Jammu, were being increased.
Men manning these nakas have been directed to carry out proper checking of vehicles and frisking of people in order to prevent smuggling of weapons and explosives from one place to the other and movement of militants.
These steps were being taken to foil militants' plan of kicking up acts of subversive violence before and during the Independence day celebrations. Sources said that orders for further strengthening the security grid within the state and on the LOC and the IB had been issued after recent incidents of gun and grenade attacks and after the militants had dug a tunnel in the border belt of Samba sector.
The sources referred to a number of incidents including some grenade attacks. Reports said that militants carried out four grenade attacks during the last 36 hours across the Valley resulting in injuries to a policeman and damage to some vehicles. Militants hurled a grenade on Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in uptown Channapora locality of Srinagar and the grenade was hurled towards a picket manned by 154th battalion personnel of CRPF.
Wednesday's grenade attack at Channapora is the second such attack in the area in recent times.
The police authorities have directed the field officers to take these incidents seriously and initiate measures for preventing militants from repeating such incidents. |
