Akhnoor (Jammu), Jul 16 (KNO): Emphasizing the crucial role of public cooperation in maintaining peace, Director General of Police (DGP) Nalin Prabhat on Wednesday said that a strong bond between the police and the public is essential to effectively eradicate terrorism from Jammu and Kashmir. Talking to reporters here, DGP Prabhat, according to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said, “A major success was achieved recently in Dudu-Basantgarh forest of Udhampur, where a top Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) commander, active for four years, was eliminated.” He said, “Information about the presence of terrorists in the area was provided by the people. Police cannot be successful without public support. The bond between the public and police in Akhnoor has been instrumental in our success.” The DGP noted that operations to neutralize terrorists are ongoing and reaffirmed the police's commitment to internal security. He congratulated personnel of Police Station Akhnoor, located near the Line of Control (LoC), for being adjudged the Best Police Station in Jammu and Kashmir for 2024 by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). To mark this exceptional achievement, the Director General of Police visited Police Station Akhnoor and personally presented the Certificate of Excellence to the police personnel. “It is a very happy day for Jammu Police,” the DGP said while addressing the gathering. “Instead of giving this award in a closed room, I decided to come here and personally hand it over. This recognition is the result of your relentless hard work and dedication.” The DGP was accompanied by IGP Jammu Zone B.S. Tuti, IGP CRPF Gopala K. Rao,; DIG JSK Range Shiv Kumar Sharma, DC Jammu Sachin Vaishya, IAS; and SSP Jammu Joginder Singh, JKPS. The event was also graced by Hon’ble MLA Akhnoor, Mohan Lal Bhagat, along with senior officers from the Army, BSF, CRPF, intelligence agencies, civil administration, and zonal police officers. Akhnoor Police Station is a historic and protected site. It was among the 76 top-performing police stations shortlisted out of 17,932 across India based on stringent performance criteria set by the MHA’s Police Modernisation Division, with support from the TransRural research agency. This national-level recognition is part of a flagship initiative launched in 2015 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the DGP/IGP Conference in Kutch, Gujarat. Lauding the efforts of the Akhnoor police team, DGP Prabhat praised the former SHO Inspector Tariq Ahmed, SDPO Mohan Sharma, JKPS, and SP Rural Brijesh Sharma, for their leadership in 2024. He also extended his best wishes to the present SHO Inspector Sanjeev Chib and SDPO Varinder Gupta, encouraging them to uphold the legacy of excellence.
