Srinagar, May 10: The Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, stated on Saturday that joining the police force in the Union Territory is not merely a career choice but a commitment to a legacy written in blood.
During a ceremony held at the Armed Police Complex in Zewan, the Lieutenant Governor presented appointment letters to newly recruited constables of the Jammu and Kashmir Police.
Approximately 4,000 recruits were selected through a transparent, merit-based process conducted by the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB).
Sinha congratulated the new recruits and urged them to perform their duties with unwavering dedication, impartiality, and a strong commitment to national service. He emphasized that being part of the Jammu and Kashmir Police is about embracing a legacy of honor. “I trust you will rise to this occasion and uphold the dignity of this esteemed force,” he said.
Paying tribute to the brave personnel of the Jammu and Kashmir Police, the Lieutenant Governor remarked that the peace and progress witnessed in the Union Territory are the results of the unwavering resolve and sacrifices made by police officers over the years.
He described the Jammu and Kashmir Police as a symbol of selfless service, duty, sacrifice, and public trust. The force is recognized for its excellence in maintaining the rule of law and conducting anti-terrorism operations.
The Lieutenant Governor also discussed the changing landscape of internal security and called for the extensive integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in policing efforts. He urged the Jammu and Kashmir Police to develop a roadmap to prepare the force for future challenges.
He noted that the battlefield has extended beyond physical boundaries, warning that emerging threats like cybercrime, narco-terrorism, digital fraud, and narrative warfare are now driven by technology rather than traditional weaponry.
Sinha reiterated that the complete eradication of all forms of terrorism and ensuring public safety remain top priorities. He stated that today’s most dangerous criminals and terrorists do not always carry weapons; they operate across borders using codes, data, and encrypted networks. Cybercrime, drug-related terrorism, digital fraud, and narrative warfare are no longer distant threats; they are current harsh realities that are taking lives, stripping livelihoods, and undermining the trust upon which every system’s stability relies.
