SRINAGAR: The Director General of Police (DGP) RR Swain on Friday said that peace has returned to JK, and the police force won’t allow it to derail.
Addressing the culmination ceremony of the All India Police Water Sports Championship at SKICC, DGP Swain said they were a little bit worried about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit but “everything went off peacefully.”
“Peace has returned to JK, and we will not allow it to derail. The ability of an adversary has always been limited. It is not an easy task to counter the fear. We are in 2024, and the year 2025 will be self-explanatory,” he said.
Later, talking to reporters, the JK police chief said that water sports events will be organised in every nook and corner of JK.
“JK police have taken it as a commitment. We will collaborate with the sports department and experts to explore villages and cities where there are water bodies to promote water sports,” he said. Responding to a query about the absence of J&K police’s women team at the event, the DGP said that women cops are proficient at policing and record-keeping. “It’s a matter of time, and very soon we will have women’s teams as well,” he said.
Present at the occasion, LG’s Advisor Rajiv Rai Bhatnagar mentioned that there has been significant growth in sports infrastructure, and the administration is committed to expanding it and involving all sections.
ADGP JK Vijay Kumar, while thanking the participants of the event, expressed hope that all participants will remember the water sports championship. “There was great enthusiasm among the participants, and we are hopeful that more participants will join us in future endeavors,” he said.
