Former IPS Deepak Mishra, who retired from the post of Special DG in CRPF, says, “Security is a mental concept. Increasing the number of security forces creates a sense of security in the minds of the public.
Important decision after the incidents of target killing.
Recently in Rajouri district of Jammu target killing After two incidents, it has been decided to deploy additional security forces. CRPF i.e. Central Reserve Police Force will send additional 18 companies of jawans to Jammu and Kashmir. About 1,800 jawans will be sent to Jammu for deployment mainly in Poonch and Rajouri districts. According to reports, eight companies of CRPF will soon be deployed in Jammu and Kashmir, while 10 companies are being sent from Delhi.
In recent incidents, it has come to the fore that terrorists are killing people by asking their names after seeing their Aadhaar cards. Especially Hindus are being targeted and killed. The purpose of deployment of additional jawans is believed to be to curb these incidents.
Thousands of army personnel are already deployed in the valley. Along with this, units of paramilitary forces are also engaged in the security system. In such a situation, the question is why there was a need to deploy additional soldiers? Are the thousands and thousands of jawans already deployed proving insufficient?
To understand the meaning of deployment of additional 1800 jawans, NewsNCR Digital spoke to former officers of CRPF, Police and Army.
Security is a mental concept
Retired from the post of Special DG in CRPF East IPS Deepak Mishra It is said, “Security is a mental concept. By increasing the number of security forces, a sense of security comes in the mind of the public. Is the public feeling secure or not? It is a kind of psychological condition. It doesn’t have much to do with the ground situation.”
Referring to the Kanjhawala case, he said that earlier PCR and police pickets were more visible on the road. Where this accident took place, there was no police visible anywhere. The message went among the people that there was no police, the security system was not adequate.
He said that if the number of jawans increases in the valley then they will be seen more. There will be patrolling everywhere. This will send a message to the public and they will feel more secure than before.
rein on infiltrator terrorists
Inspector in Delhi Police Special Cell Surendra Sand After the Red Fort attack in December 2000, the accused Lashkar-e-Taiba mastermind terrorist Ashfaq alias Arif went to Srinagar in a chartered plane, where he was also attacked in the SOG camp. He tells that the Gujjar community living in the Poonch area is against terrorism. They support the fight against terrorism.
He told that the infiltration of terrorists is a bit easier from the LAC, the Line of Actual Control, in the border area. In the dark of night, they enter the villages and create terror on the basis of weapons. The deployment of additional jawans should be seen as a preparation to curb those terrorists.
…so that terrorists cannot target even small villages
from Indian Army Retired Colonel Uday Singh Chauhan Told that the military is on the border and patrolling the entire area. The road opens in the morning and the convoy does not move at night. Inside the villages, police and paramilitary forces are engaged in security.
He said that the incidents of target killing that come to the fore, mostly come from such border villages, where four houses are situated in the middle of the hills, some families are living in the middle of the fields. Terrorists infiltrate into the Indian border by crossing the fencing. Targets small villages.
Colonel Singh told that earlier there were VDCs i.e. Village Security Committees in villages, which were given rifles, which were taken back. Now there is preparation to reform them. The rest of the additional jawans being sent are likely to be deployed in small villages. So that the gap which the terrorists get can be filled.
Colonel Singh has fought in Kargil and Batalik during the Kargil War. He was then a Major in the Bofors Regiment and was injured by the splinter of the Pak Army. He hoped that the deployment of paramilitary forces in small villages would intensify patrolling and curb terror.
