Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha Wednesday said that whosoever would be found part of the “terror ecosystem” will face action as per the law and that it was the prime duty of police and security agencies to trace such people.
“Whosoever is found to be part of terror ecosystem will face action, none will be spared. It is the prime duty of police and security agencies to track down such people,” LG said while replying to a query whether action would be also taken against politicians, if found involved in “supporting terror or terrorism”. The LG was addressing a press conference in Jammu.
Asked whether the administration would allow Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra set to enter J-K in January, he said the government believes in democratic principles and no drive or march that is held within such principles are banned or disallowed. “As far as Covid protocol, we will see and monitor what would be Covid situation (in January),” he said, adding that only such activities that go against India’s sovereignty are banned and disallowed.
To a query that some media reports suggest investment proposals were on paper only, the LG said that he too came through such news reports. “But the fact remains that there have been investments of Rs 100 Cr, 200 Crore and even Rs 900 Crore as well. We are facing infrastructure-related issues at some places that are being addressed. I assure you all that Rs 70,000 Crore investment will be a reality soon,” he said.
The LG said that in the next five years, every town will be developed under the My town My pride program while aspirational Panchayat Developmental Programs will be launched for the development of Panchayats. He also announced a slew of measures that his administration will be taking to promote and push J-K’s Agriculture and its allied sectors to promote UT’s economy. (KNO)
