At Gandoh, he said that Pakistan and its agencies are using Narco-terrorim in J&K from the last around two years to target our younger generation and to raise funds for terrorist activities. He added that during these two years a number of Narco-terrorism modules have been busted and said that around 20 cases of this nature are under investigation which shows the involvement of terrorists and their handlers. He said strong action is being taken against the anti-national elements who are operating at the behest of handlers from across the border to destabilize the peace and tranquility of J&K. Massive crackdown has been launched against those elements, he added. Referring to the 119 proclaimed offenders of the area who are in Pakistan, the DGP said that every action will be taken against them adding that they are not wanted by the Police only but by the people also for their betrayal.
