The issue of local boys joining militancy in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) was a serious concern for the Security agencies and many steps have been taken to stop it, said Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kashmir zone, Vijay Kumar, on May 21, reports Daily Excelsior. The motive is not just to kill a militant but to end militancy as well to secure the environment for the people of Kashmir. Security Forces (SFs) including Police renew their pledge to fight terrorism with more zeal and zest. A series of steps have already been taken to prevent locals from joining militancy. SFs delay encounters by two to three hours only to allow local boys surrender. There is a need for more hard-work and efforts to keep boys away from the militancy. A vast network of OGWs has already been busted and motivators are being tracked down, added IGP, Vijay Kumar, while speaking to reporters on the occasion of National Anti-Terrorism Day in Srinagar District of J&K in India.
