Our armed forces ready to deal with any situation: J&K LG

Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said on Friday that the armed forces of the country were ready to deal with any situation.

The LG visited the border town of Uri, where he interacted with soldiers of the Indian Army in the aftermath of a series of failed drone and missile attacks by Pakistan in Jammu, Samba, Udhampur, and Srinagar cities of J&K.

Sinha asked the soldiers during his interaction with them, “How is the josh?”, to which he received a resounding positive response.

In a post on X, the LG said, “A proud privilege to be amongst the Bravest of the Brave, our heroes in Baramulla. They have just one dream and one resolve – destroy the enemy & its capability to attack Bharat and to safeguard our citizens and Bharat’s sovereignty. Jai Hind ki Sena!”

Speaking with reporters after visiting Uri, Sinha said that attempts were made by Pakistan to harm India, but the Indian armed forces are ready to deal with any kind of situation.

Sinha, along with the Chief Secretary and DGP, took stock of the damage to civilian areas and homes caused by the unprovoked shelling by Pakistan in the border villages of Lagama and Gingal in Uri.

“I’ve directed the district administration to provide immediate relief to the affected families and ensure their safety and security,” the LG said after the visit.

“The J&K administration is ensuring that people here don’t face any inconvenience. I went to villages in the border areas that suffered losses. The injured and the families of those who died have been given ex-gratia.

“The loss is being ascertained, and there is a need to construct new bunkers in these areas. In the coming days, new bunkers will be built,” he said.
