Rajnath Singh said that for the complete elimination of terrorists all the people of the peace-loving class of society should come together. At the same time, people who have been strayed from the path of peace should also motivate people. Significantly, the government had announced a one-sided ceasefire in Jammu and Kashmir during the month of Ramzan. On behalf of the government it was said that no action will be taken on their behalf in the month of Ramzan. But if there is an attack, the security forces can take retaliation to save lives of their own or innocent citizens. Army sources said that nowadays that the cardon and search operation and SADO that means the search and distraction operations will be less than before. Although despite this announcement of the government, the reduction in terror incidents has increased in the valley and many jawans were martyred. Common civilians also died.
The Security Forces are being directed to take all necessary actions as earlier to prevent terrorists from launching attacks and indulging in violence and killings.
