Srinagar, Dec 05: The Jammu and Kashmir government is considering the adoption of non-lethal strategies to enhance the safety and security of its citizens. As outlined in the recently released Vision Document 2047, these best practices have shown promising results in minimizing civilian casualties. The document emphasizes the importance of incorporating non-lethal weapons, counter-radicalization methodologies, and effective counseling measures.
By introducing these strategies, the government aims to counter evolving terrorist tactics while ensuring the preservation of civilian lives. It recognizes the dynamic nature of security threats and has initiated the procurement of advanced arms and technologies for law enforcement agencies. Equipping them with the necessary tools will enable them to adapt to changing circumstances effectively.
The implementation of non-lethal strategies also aligns with the government’s vision of elevating the technological standards of the Police Department to global levels by 2047. This tech-centric approach aims to create a people-friendly environment by seamlessly integrating modern technologies and promoting enhanced interactions between law enforcement and the public.
One significant step in this direction is the upcoming implementation of the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS), expected to be fully functional for public access by June 2023. This move will bring transparency and accessibility to citizens, transforming their engagement with law enforcement.
To strengthen legal proceedings against offenders, the document emphasizes the need to bolster the Prosecution Department and the Forensic Science Laboratory. The separation of the Prosecution Department from the Police Organization, together with the infusion of trained manpower, demonstrates the government’s commitment to robust legal action.
In addition to these measures, the government has implemented various initiatives to improve living conditions and overall satisfaction levels within the law enforcement community. These include job provisions for the families of those killed in the line of duty, educational support for martyrs’ children, and the construction of residential colonies with amenities.
Through the adoption of non-lethal strategies, the Jammu and Kashmir government aims to enhance the safety and security of its citizens. By incorporating modern technologies, promoting transparency, and strengthening legal proceedings, they strive to create an environment that fosters citizen safety and security.
As the government takes proactive steps to counter evolving security threats, the implementation of non-lethal strategies and the enhancement of law enforcement capabilities will remain key priorities. The Vision Document 2047 serves as a blueprint for a secure and prosperous future in Jammu and Kashmir, with a clear focus on citizen-centric approaches and effective utilization of resources.
