MATURE APPROACH

It is good luck of the Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory that an insightful person is heading the government making it amply clear that the region is in safe hands. The astuteness of the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha can be well gauged by the fact that he is not showing any inclination towards buying peace in the Valley rather he is going for the lasting solution of the problem by way of establishing peace under normal course with none given preference as the case during the successive governments in the past. This is really a mature approach and will bail out J&K from the miseries of over three decades long turmoil created by the forces dancing on the tunes of their Pakistani mentors sitting across the borders. It is a fact that the security forces have gained the upper hand in countering terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir and are working to destroy the terror ecosystem in the Union Territory. It is good that the government is trying hard to destroy ecosystem of terrorism from its roots and break the backbone of terrorists. No doubt that the terrorists are attacking soft targets out of frustration, but good care is being taken to either catch or kill those involved in such selective killings as recently security forces eliminated many terrorists after getting information about their role in the targeted killings which shocked the entire valley in the recent times. It is the first time that the head of state has steadfastly admitted that entities used to buy peace for Kashmir. This has exposed the deviousness of the previous regimes and their questionable character. Already the strict and sturdy governance model in J&K has brought in many changes and if the government under LG Sinha will accomplish its objective of instilling hope for peace, there will be no looking back and sooner than later things will become normal again with no fear of guns and goons. Most of the work has been completed in Kashmir as it is just the frustrated lot which is creating some problems but the people should feel assured that the terrorism is on the last leg in the Valley and soon the good old days will return here and it will again be called as paradise on earth.
