Guv Malik condemns Lethpora attack, says militants ‘desperate to show presence’

Jammu: Governor Satya Pal Malik has strongly condemned the militant attack on a CRPF convoy at Pulwama in which at least 18 CRPF personnel were killed.

An official handout said that Malik has conveyed his grief and sincere sympathy to the families of the “brave soldiers who had lost their lives in this attack and prayed for early recovery of all those injured in this gruesome attack”.

He expressed serious concern about the attack on armed forces and said that those responsible for insurgency in J&K are “desperate and frustrated and they just want to prove their presence”.

“Visibly it seems to be guided from across the border as Jaish-e-Mohammad has claimed the responsibility. Such actions will not deter the resolve of our security forces and people, and we will finish these inimical forces to the last,” he said and urged all the security forces commanders to “enhance surveillance on every front and directed the District and Divisional Civil and Police Administration to immediately review the security management of all important installations and establishments.
