UNION Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said there is a big drop in terror incidents in Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370 and a record number of tourists are visiting the Union Territory.

Presenting the President’s Colour to the Haryana Police in recognition of its exceptional service, Shah also said the BJP Government at the Centre has successfully tackled internal security challenges -- terror activities in Jammu and Kashmir, insurgency in the North East and Left Wing Extremism -- in the last eight years. “Today I can say with satisfaction that after the abrogation of Article 370, there is a big reduction in terror incidents in Jammu and Kashmir. And record number of tourists visit Jammu and Kashmir. It is a matter of satisfaction,” he said. The Union Home Minister also said the Narendra

Modi Government will bring changes in the Criminal Procedure Code, the Indian Penal Code and the Evidence Act to make forensic investigation compulsory for crimes which attract punishment of six years or more. Shah presented the President’s Colour on behalf of President Droupadi Murmu in a ceremony organised at the Haryana Police Academy, Madhuban, Karnal.

The President’s Colour is a special flag given to a military, paramilitary or police unit as a mark of recognition for its services to the nation. A replica of the flag presented to the unit can be worn as an insignia by all officers and ranks of the force on their uniform. “Under the leadership of the Prime Minister, the Home department is tackling several internal security challenges effectively. Jammu and Kashmir, the North East and Left Wing Extremism, the pain of which the country suffered for many decades,” Shah said in his address.
