Jammu, Jun 15(KNS):Director General of Police R R Swain on Saturday called recent terror incidents a desperate attempt by the terror handlers, based across the border, to keep their shops running after massive setback to terror infrastructure in Kashmir.
While asserting the enemy forces will be defeated, DGP said :"As we see, they (terrorists) are not in huge numbers. They are like rats but they exist. They have guns and they are using these on innocent people," he said, assuring the people that all of them will be eliminated.
"The way the information flow (about movement of terrorists) is there, we have Village Defence Guards, police forces, CRPF and the Army. How long will they hold their ground facing them?
"In the past, they made an attempt to spread anarchy (in Jammu region for eight to 10 years) but they failed. They will meet the same fate again," he said while addressing the policemen at Hiranagar police station according to KNS correspondent.
He also requested the cross-check the information about the movement of terrorists before sharing it with the security agencies.

"The challenge is coming from across the border and terro handlers have taken a decision of keeping the pot boiling.
"They have realised that the days of terrorism are numbered in J&K after inflicting huge losses on the terror infrastructure in Kashmir. But whose bread and better runs on this may not give it up so easily?."
He added that handlers across the border want to keep their shops running, they foreign mercenaries here," DGP said.
Regarding the recent meetings chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, he said central government has given instructions for augmenting the manpower and equipment including weapons, night vision devices, training skill, vehicles and "we will neutralize them".
DGP added that weapon droppings and narcotics through drones continues to be a challenge.
He reiterated stern action against a 'handful of people' and will make them an example for others so that no one else ever thinks of supporting them.
" This is a war that has been trust on us. Enemy will try to cause more harm to the opposite side. We will adopt tactics and strategy that will not only eliminate them but also will ensure minimum harm to us," he said. (KNS)
