Punjab Cabinet hails army operation, PM Modi

Chandigarh, Sep 29 (IANS) The Punjab Cabinet on Thursday hailed the "apt, timely and effective surgical operations undertaken by the Indian Army across the Line of Control in Kashmir" against terrorists and those providing them support.

At an emergency meeting of the Cabinet here, chaired by Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, the Cabinet moved a resolution lauding Prime Minister Narendra Modi "for decisively ordering the surgical operations to demolish the bases and camps of those acting with impunity against our citizens".

 

"The operation has been executed with clinical and professional precision by the brave men of the Indian Army," the resolution stated.

It further read: "Punjab, which is rightly called the sword arm of India, has suffered immensely because of the inhuman and ghastly acts of terrorism by these elements. Peace and communal harmony in the state has been one of the prime targets of these elements as was evident in the attacks on Dinanagar and Pathankot."

"The governments of India and Punjab are totally aware of the challenges posed to life and property of those residing along the border with Pakistan in view of the situation developing along the Line of Control in Kashmir and along the rest of the International border between India and Pakistan," the resolution said.

Accordingly, the Government of India has advised that the civilian population within 10 kilometers of the international border be moved to safer locations, it added.

The resolution maintained: "We deem it our sacred duty to take every step required to protect and safeguard life and property of our citizens living in these border areas. The entire state government machinery is geared up to function most sensitively and effectively round the clock to serve the people to ensure that these brave and patriotic Punjabis are put to minimum inconvenience and discomfort."

Apart from all the officials of the government of Punjab, all the ministers, the legislators and others holding official positions would remain available at all times for advice and assistance to those affected by the Government of India's advice, it stated.

"The Council of Ministers appeals to the people of Punjab to remain united and vigilant against the enemy and keep their calm and composure in the lofty traditions of patriotic fervour and selfless service," the resolution said.
