Srinagar, November 12 (Scoop News)- "We must eliminate every single terror element within the society to completely restore the peace and this effort requires the cooperation of all sections of the public," the Lieutenant Governor, Shri Manoj Sinha said on Wednesday. The Lieutenant Governor was speaking at the inauguration of the International Film Festival of Srinagar, organised by Vomedh Group.
The Lieutenant Governor exhorted the film-makers to come up with films, which narrate ordeal of terror victims, expose ringleaders of terror ecosystem and showcase the transformation after August 2019.
“People must expose the enemies of peace by providing information about them to the Police and Security Agencies, so that entire terror ecosystem hiding behind the cover in the society is neutralised and a befitting reply is given to the evil intentions of the neighbouring country,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor said that after the last 5-6 years of tireless, dedicated work and many sacrifices of the J&K Police, Army, Intelligence and Security Forces, we have been able to create a fear-free environment in J&K and established a safe, supportive and inclusive system for youth to realise their dreams.
"Society must come together to guard this peace, progress, joy and renewed hope," the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor shared the efforts taken by the UT Administration to facilitate ease of film shooting and revive J&K’s bond with the film industry.
He also called upon the film-makers to strike a balance between entertainment and social responsibility.
