Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday said complete eradication of terrorism from the Union Territory is the top priority of his administration and asserted that he has given a free hand to the security forces to deal with terrorists and the terror ecosystem.

The Lt Governor attended the passing-out parade of the deputy superintendents of police (DySPs) probationers 17th batch and probationer sub-inspectors (PSIs) 26th batch at the Sher-e-Kashmir Police Academy, Udhampur. He extended his felicitations to all the trainers and officials of the Police Academy and the family members of the passing-out DySPs and PSIs.

He called for intelligence-driven anti-terror operations and intensified targeted strikes on the network of the over-ground workers (OGWs), saying the elements providing logistical and financial support to the terrorists should be brought to justice.
