He said policemen were being targeted as they protect and work for the welfare of the people.
“The terrorists and Pakistani elements feel this pain and when someone comes between the locals and terrorists, they get frustrated," Singh said
“Police work for the safety of people from terrorists. Police with our forces from the Army, BSF and the CRPF jointly keep the terrorists at distance. This is their (terrorists') desperation, and it is because of this, the killing takes place. We will respond to them,” Singh said.
He said the J-K police have been fighting this war for the past 30 years and “it is our responsibility to protect the lives and property of people”.
Asked about the presence of militants in north Kashmir, he said there have been recent incursions by Pakistan in some places in which some Pakistani ultras have infiltrated to this side.
“The terrorists are on our radar and you have seen that some of them have been killed in the operations and I hope that Pakistani terrorists who have recently infiltrated will be neutralized soon as the operations are on against them. The main motive of the Pakistani sponsored terrorists is to kill someone and harm the lives of people and their property,” he said.
