“It is a matter of concern that Pakistan is pushing Covid-19 infected militants from across. Till now, Pakistan had been supporting terrorists and now it is exporting coronavirus patients to infect people of Kashmir. This is something on which there is a need to take precaution,” Dilbag Singh told reporters in central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district on Wednesday after reviewing security and measures taken in view of Covid-19 outbreak.

The DGP also attended a meeting chaired by RR Bhatnagar, the adviser to lieutenant governor GC Murmu, to review the security and the prevailing ground situation in the valley in view of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Referring to the recent terror attacks, Dilbag Singh said when the entire world was making efforts to fight the coronavirus pandemic, Pakistan and its sponsored terrorists were making all out attempts to disrupt the measures being taken to safeguard the lives of the people in Jammu and Kashmir.

A recent report suggested that terrorists at training centres and launching pads in Pakistan and PoK are suffering from coronavirus infection, Singh added.
