Terror ecosystem in J&K isolated through developmental schemes: LG Sinha

Jammu and Kashmir has suffered state-sponsored terrorism by Pakistan for 30 years but the terror ecosystem, which thrived with support from across the border, has been isolated, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said on May 23.

Jammu and Kashmir has suffered state-sponsored terrorism by Pakistan for 30 years but the terror ecosystem, which thrived with support from across the border, has been isolated, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said on May 23.

The J&K LG said the Union Territory is now witnessing a new era that has opened limitless possibilities of growth and peace.

“For almost 30 years, this land of peaceful co-existence of almost all religious sects had to suffer state-sponsored terrorism by our neighbouring country,” he said at the inaugural session of the third tourism working group meeting of G20 countries at SKICC here.

The terror ecosystem has now been isolated through developmental schemes launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Union Territory’s effective administration, he asserted.

Mr. Sinha said Prime Minister Modi has completely eliminated injustice, exploitation and discrimination which several sections of society faced for seven long decades owing to circumstances that evolved mostly because of orchestration from abroad.

J&K stands among the developed regions of India on some measurable milestones, and "we are committed for people's prosperity both economically and socially," he said.

Now even foreign investments are coming into Jammu and Kashmir, the green shoots of better times that people are anxiously looking up to, he added.
