Swain affirmed the resilience of law enforcement against the persistent challenge of terrorism, stating, “This challenge (terrorism) is not going to overwhelm us.” He emphasized the strategic importance of local support and community involvement in defeating nefarious designs originating from across the border.
The DGP acknowledged the unique challenges faced by Jammu and Kashmir, being a border area, and discussed the evolving threats, including the use of drones. He announced stringent measures against those receiving consignments from drones, categorizing them as “real enemies of the nation” who will be dealt with firmly under tough laws.
