 "J&K security forces")
Additional Director General of Police (Jammu Zone) Mukesh Singh on Sunday called for maximum effort to neutralise terrorists and their overground workers active in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district.
Singh was speaking at a joint security review meeting in Rajouri -- the border district where seven people, including two children, were killed and 14 injured in a terror attack on January 1.
Despite a massive search operation to neutralise the terrorists behind the attack in Dhangri village, success has so far eluded the security forces.
Singh concluded his two-day visit to Rajouri by addressing the joint security review meeting attended by, among others, Deputy Inspector General of Police (Rajouri-Poonch Range) Mohd Haseeb Mughal, Senior Superintendent of Police (Rajouri) Mohd Aslam and senior officers of the Army and the Central Reserve Police Force, a police spokesperson said.
He stressed on strengthening both border and hinterland security grid, focused on counter-terrorist operations and targeting the overground workers' (OGW) network of terrorists, the spokesperson added.
Singh also urged the officers to put in maximum effort for the arrest or elimination of terrorists operating in Rajouri.
