<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222222;">Jammu and Kashmir Police chief R R Swain said that there has been a decline in terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir but it has not been completely wiped out. He asked his men to work towards peace so that voters and candidates can take part in elections without fear. In his New Year message to police officials, Swain said the challenge for 2024 is not to let the dismantled terror ecosystem 'take roots or resurface even marginally in any form'. Lauding the role of the police force, the DGP said, over 1,600 police personnel have made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty in the past three decades of terrorism. He said Jammu and Kashmir Police is a unique police force in the country as it has the "onerous" responsibility of maintaining law and order on the streets and battling terrorists with and without guns.</span></p>
