Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday said the peace and progress enjoyed by citizens of Jammu and Kashmir are the results of the unwavering resolve and sacrifices made by brave police personnel.
"The Jammu & Kashmir Police stands as a testament to selfless service, duty, sacrifice and public trust. It is recognised as the benchmark of excellence in upholding the rule of law and executing counter-terrorism operations," he said, paying tribute to J&K Police's bravehearts.
The LG handed over appointment letters to newly recruited constables during a landmark presentation ceremony at the Armed Police Complex, Zewan.
Around 4,000 recruits were selected through a transparent, merit-based process conducted by the J&K Service Selection Board. The Lieutenant Governor extended congratulations to the recruits and exhorted them to discharge their duties with absolute integrity, impartiality, and unwavering commitment to national service.
The Lt Governor said that joining the Jammu & Kashmir Police is not merely a career choice but the acceptance of a legacy written in blood. "I am confident that you will rise to the occasion and uphold the honour of this glorious force," he said, addressing the recruits.
Sinha spoke on the shifting landscape of internal security and called for increased integration of Artificial Intelligence in policing operations, urging J&K Police to prepare a roadmap to make the force future-ready.
He said the battlefield has expanded beyond physical borders, warning that modern threats such as cybercrime, narco-terrorism, digital fraud, and narrative warfare are increasingly being driven by technology rather than traditional weaponry.
"Today, the world's most dangerous criminals and terrorists do not always carry weapons; instead, they exploit code, data, and encrypted networks to operate across borders. Cybercrime, narco-terrorism, digital fraud, and narrative warfare are no longer threats of the distant future; they are the stark realities of the present. They are claiming lives, destroying livelihoods, and eroding the trust upon which the stability of every system ultimately rests," he said.
The Lieutenant Governor urged recruits across all wings of J&K Police to leverage robust digital infrastructure to combat these threats.
The ceremony was attended by Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo, DGP Nalin Prabhat, Principal Secretary Home Chandraker Bharti, Special DG Coordination S.J.M. Gillani, Commandant General Home Guards Abdul Ghani Mir, ADGP Headquarters M.K. Sinha, senior officials of police and civil administration, and family members of recruits.
