Srinagar: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday in the wake of a grenade attack directed the Union Territory’s top police officer and other security officials to give a forceful response to the terrorists.
“The LG spoke to DGP Nalin Prabhat and senior officials of the security agencies on the grenade attack in Srinagar. He directed the security officials for an effective and forceful response to punish the terrorists and their associates,” an official spokesman said.
The LG asserted that the terrorists attacking civilians will have to pay a very heavy price.
“You have full freedom to crush terror outfits and leave no stone unturned to complete this mission,” he said.
The LG also wished speedy recovery of those injured and directed that district administration should extend all possible assistance.
Terrorists lobbed a grenade at a CRPF bunker near a crowded flea market in Srinagar on Sunday, injuring at least 11 civilians.
The grenade, however, missed the intended target and landed on a roadside, an officer said.
