Jammu and Kashmir Police Chief  RR Swain on Thursday came out strongly against the neighbouring country while accusing it of trying to disturb the peaceful atmosphere through its mercenaries and asserted that the Indian forces were determined to give a befitting response to the enemy.

The police Chief also warned the "enemy agents" that they would repent their decision to support terrorism. Swain said, "these enemy agents have stakes including families, land, and jobs, unlike Pakistani terrorists who have nothing to lose".

Meanwhile, massive search operations continued on Thursday in different districts of Jammu and Kashmir, especially Doda and Reasi and Jammu, to track down and neutralize terrorists involved in recent attacks in the union territory. So far Reasi police have detained 50 individuals in connection with the recent terrorist attack on a pilgrims' bus in the Kanda area of police station Pouni.

The detentions were made following an intensive investigation led by the police at the Kanda Area Police Station, Pouni.

Interacting with the reporters in Katra on the sidelines of a security review meeting DGP Swain said, "The starting point (of terrorism in J&K) is across the border. The clear intent of the adversary is that if they cannot motivate locals for subversive activities to disturb the peaceful atmosphere in Kashmir, send their people, Pakistanis, after recruiting them there and forcibly pushing them into this side".

The meeting, among others, was attended by Reasi Deputy Commissioner, Vishesh Paul Mahajan, Udhampur-Reasi Range Deputy Inspector General of Police Rayees Mohammad Bhat, and Reasi Senior Superintendent of Police Mohita Sharma.

Commenting on the role of some of the local over-ground workers, DGP maintained, "The enemy agents are doing it (helping foreign terrorists) for money and narcotics. They will be identified and dealt with sternly. We want to warn them that while the (foreign) terrorists will get killed,” the police chief said.
