Stating that fear is looming large over Jammu and people are feeling highly insecure, National Democratic Party
Indian (NDPI) J&K UT president Rajesh Gupta on Saturday said that the present administration in J&K has
miserably failed “to provide a sense of security to common people.”
NDPI Chief urged the DGP J&K Dilbag Singh to immediately take necessary steps and provide a sense of security
to common people.” The police should increase patrolling and beat level activities to instill confidence among
people as presently the population is reeling under the fear of criminals, who are ruling the roost.
Talking to reporters, Gupta said the situation in Jammu has turned a bit precarious as far as the increase in the
criminal cases is concerned because lately these criminals are ruling the roost and striking at houses, shops and
other establishments without any fear of law.
NDPI president said recently on Tuesday Unidentified gangsters struck in the house of a businessman in Gandhi
Nagar area and held the family at gunpoint and took away Rs 15 lakh cash. Gupta condemned the unfortunate
incident in which gangsters entered into the house of businessman held the family members hostage besides
demanding ransom. “The present administration in J&K has miserably failed to provide a sense of security to
people.”
NDPI leader said it is very unfortunate that after abrogation of Article 370 the criminal activities are increased.
Gupta further added that not only criminals risk in Jammu but the fear of thieves is also unnerving the
commuters who park their cars and two wheelers at public places because vehicle lifters are also very active in
the city giving a tough time to men in Khaki as news of thefts and vehicle lifting are hogging the headlines in the
newspapers. The modus-operandi behind such thefts is almost similar in 90 per cent of the cases and one
wonders that how strong is the recce network of these thieves as they commit the crime in a perfect manner.
