Expressing serious concern over repeated terrorist attacks on security forces establishments in the state, Governor N N Vohra today asked all security forces commanders and the government to enhance surveillance and immediately review security of all important installations.
He disapproved of Pakistan's continuing attempts to exacerbate the situation when India was seeking to restore peace and normalcy.
Vohra asked Chief Secretary to direct districts and divisional civil and police administration to immediately review the security of all important installations and establishments in the state.
After being briefed about the attacks by Pakistani terrorists at Ramgarh and Nagrota yesterday, the Governor spoke with Northern Army Commander Lt Gen D S Hooda, DGP J&K K Rajendra, GOC XVI Corps Lt Gen A K Sharma, GOC 26 Div Maj Gen S Sharma and IG BSF (Jammu Frontier) D K Upadhyaya.
He conveyed to GOC XVI Corps and IG BSF his grief and sincere sympathy and requested that the same be conveyed to the next of the kin of the soldiers who lost their lives in the encounters with the terrorists and hoped that the injured Army and BSF personnel would recover very early.
