DIG North Kashmir calls for public vigilance and collective action against radicalisation

STC NEWS DESK
BARAMULLA, JANUARY 19 (STC): Radicalization presents a direct peril to societal harmony and national cohesion. Families and community members have to remain cautious against the extremist influences at their nascent stages.
Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police for North Kashmir, Maqsood-ul-Zamaan, said in a post on X platform.
The DIG underscored the collective responsibility in preempting such threats.
“Radicalization threatens peace and unity. Together, we can stop it before it starts,” reads his post.
He highlighted several behavioral indicators that could suggest radicalization, advising families and community members to remain observant. “These indicators include the expression of increasingly intolerant viewpoints or hate speech, noticeable withdrawal from family and social circles, abrupt shifts in behavior, ideology, or personal appearance, and a concerning interest in violent extremist propaganda or materials,” reads the post.
DIG Zamaan stressed the critical need for public vigilance and encouraged citizens to promptly report any worrisome behavior to the authorities.
