"The effort is to bring major positive changes in social setup in J&K." He said that for the past thirty years, cross-border terrorism in the Union Territory has been posing a challenge to us. "It is history in itself, the way the army, paramilitary forces and police has given befitting reply to this challenge." The LG said that the crackdown against terror came became more intense after the Indian Parliament took a "historic decision" in August 2019 under the command of Prime Minister.
In 2019, the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir was bifurcated into two Union territories - Ladakh and Jammu & Kashmir – and the Article 370, that granted special powers to the state, was abrogated.
The army, CRPF and police have got many successes and stone-pelting and strike have become part of history now, he said.
"Salute to veer naris, our veterans and tributes to all those martyrs who have sacrificed their lives for our country," Sinha said after laying a floral wreath at Vir Stambh.

"We have improved public service delivery and ensured higher financial outlays for district development. Health, education, industry, agriculture, handicraft is being given special attention as part of our strategy for inclusive and higher economic growth," he added.
