Terming the recent terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir as “unfortunate”, Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday there is no security lapse, adding that security forces are giving befitting reply to the terrorists.

Singh claimed that the number of attacks taking place in the valley have been reduced compared to the earlier times.

Speaking to reporters in UP’s Kanpur, Singh said, “This is not an issue of security lapses. Compared to earlier times, attacks have been reduced. Our security forces are on alert, such a situation will come that from there (J-K) terror activities will be fully wiped out and J-K will develop fast.”

“The attacks that happened were unfortunate, our security forces are giving befitting reply also, so many terrorists have been killed,” he said.

Earlier today, an encounter broke out between security forces and terrorists in Srinagar’s Khanyar area of Jammu and Kashmir.
