DGP Nalin Prabhat’s First-Ever Tour of Lolab Valley Strengthens Security Operations

In a historic move, JK DGP Nalin Prabhat became the first police chief to visit the Lolab Valley, a strategically important area near the Line of Control (LOC) that has faced persistent terrorist threats. The visit allowed DGP Prabhat to conduct an operational review of the ongoing anti-terror efforts and assess the readiness of the ground forces. He engaged with officers from the JK Police’s SOG and the CRPF at the SOG Camp in Lolab, highlighting their commitment and effectiveness in the face of difficult conditions. DGP Prabhat underscored the importance of continuous counter-insurgency operations to counter Pakistani terrorists attempting to disrupt peace in Kashmir. His visit served to boost the morale of local police and reiterate the government’s zero-tolerance policy towards terror. The local community expressed positive sentiment, recognizing the visit as a step towards building trust and ensuring safety in the region. According to security analysts, this visit could be instrumental in reshaping the region’s security approach by balancing oversight with genuine community involvement. Numerous counter-terror operations are currently being executed throughout the Jammu region, focusing on the use of local intelligence to direct troop movements, improve surveillance, and shut down infiltration paths.
