Situation in J&K will be back to normal within few months: L-G Manoj Sinha

Srinagar, July 24

Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday said the situation in the Union Territory will be back to normal within a few months as inimical elements will be given a befitting response.

“Those who cannot digest the peaceful atmosphere here, they should be ready for their end. People here have given a befitting response to them before also. The situation demands so. I think the situation will be back to normal again in a few months,” Sinha told reporters here.

The Jammu region of the Union Territory has witnessed a spurt in militancy-related violence over the last few months.

The L-G also welcomed the Union Budget, describing it as historic. “I want to thank the prime minister and the finance minister for presenting a historic budget in Parliament. I think it will lay a strong foundation for a developed India and, along with that, a developed Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.

Farmers, youngsters, women and the poor are the main focus of the government, Sinha said.

The finance minister has given money with a free hand for the overall growth of Jammu and Kashmir, he added.
