Interview | Director General of Police, Jammu and Kashmir, Dilbag Singh

How do you assess the security situation in the Valley since 5 August 2019? In what ways has the abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A impacted upon the Jammu and Kashmir police operations?

Security situation is well under control and we are far better today. Post abrogation, Jammu and Kashmir Police and other forces deployed in the valley have shown responsibility and professionalism in maintaining peace and order. There has been no firing to maintain law and order. The people of Jammu and Kashmir, too, have been supportive in maintaining peace. The Jammu and Kashmir Police is committed to maintain peace, law and order, integrity, sovereignty of the country and above all, to secure the safety of our people for which hundreds of officers and jawans have sacrificed their lives and will continue to do so.

There were reports that due to the lockdown that followed the abrogation, intelligence networks of the police was disrupted, which could have put the security forces at a disadvantage. How is the people-police equation now?
