In a major testimony to the efforts of the security forces deployed in the Union Territory (UT) of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), the terror-related violence have fallen by around sixty per cent in 2020 so far, compared to the same period a year ago, reports Economic Times.
The period has also witnessed zero instances of major law and order violations, and stone pelting activities at the encounter sites or during the burials of terrorists neutralised by the security forces.
The positive development was shared by Director General of Police (DGP) of the UT of J&K, Dilbagh Singh who was in Delhi on Friday (14 February) to brief Union Minister Jitendra Singh about the present-day security scenario in J&K.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
