Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra today cautioned about the attempts from across the border to destabilise the state and asked security forces to remain vigilant to maintain peace and communal harmony.
"Since the beginning of this year, there have been continuing attempts at infiltration and repeated attacks on our security forces, leaving no doubt that the adversary agencies and forces across the Line of Control remain committed to their agenda of destabilising Jammu and Kashmir.
"In this scenario the security forces shall need to maintain eternal vigilance. And side by side, the state police shall need to take timely pre-emptive action to ensure that the subversive elements, who receive encouragement and support from adversary agencies, are not allowed to instigate incidents for disrupting communal harmony in any part of the State," Vohra said in a message on the eve of Independence day.
The Governor said the administration shall also need to take effective initiatives to ensure that societal harmony is maintained in all regions of the state.
Vohra appealed to the leaders of all political, social, cultural and religious organisations, and all other segments of society to join hands and work closely together for enabling the peaceful resolution of all outstanding issues, through dialogue and discussion.
"We must also join hands to work unitedly for taking the state speedily forward on the path of progress and prosperity," he said.
