Srinagar, July 21 -- Jammu and Kashmir lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday vowed to end the "ecosystem" helping terrorism in the Union territory, asserting that he believes in "establishing peace not buying it".While addressing the felicitation ceremony of "Pedal Through Paradise" cyclothon held by J&K Police on the banks of Dal Lake in Srinagar, Sinha urged the youth to contribute towards building a terrorism-free, drug-free and fit Jammu and Kashmir. "We must unite and wage a war against terrorism, its ecosystem and drug addiction. It is my firm resolve to eliminate the ecosystem fuelling terrorism and destroy the entire network responsible for radicalising youth, supplying weapons, funding, targeting, and assisting terrorists," he said. Sinha reiterated the government policy of "don't touch the innocent and do not spare the guilty". "We believe in establishing peace and not buying peace. The civil and police administration is committed to delivering justice to the families of victims of Pakistan sponsored terrorism. We are determined to eliminate every terrorist along with its entire support system," the LG said. On July 13, Manoj Sinha had handed over appointment letters to the next of kin of 40 victims of terror, whose cases were buried for the past four decades of militancy in Kashmir, with a commitment that all such families would receive justice, recognition and support they deserve after years of suffering. The LG also talked about the "new Jammu and Kashmir" during the event. "Compare the things today with what were six years back. One will understand what is new. The new J&K is not just a slogan, but a living example of peace, progress, and possibilities," he said. "The new J&K is the one where our youths indulge in innovation and focus on start ups. There are no slogans of separatism," he said. Sinha felicitated the winners and hailed the enthusiasm and spirit of unity among the participants. More than 5,500 cyclists from different parts of the country participated in 10 categories. The Pahalgam attack has failed to deter the pilgrims from the annual Amarnath Yatra as the number of yatris crossed 3 lakh mark on Sunday, just 18 days after it commenced. As the milestone was achieved, J&K lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha visited Baltal base camp in Ganderbal to review the arrangements for the ongoing pilgrimage. "By the grace of Amarnath Ji, the holy pilgrimage has surpassed the 3 lakh mark today. This sacred journey is a deeply enriching experience. May Baba's blessings bring peace, strength and fulfilment to all. Har Har Mahadev!," Sinha said on X. Before the yatra started on July 3, the LG, in a press conference, had informed that only one-third of the pilgrims registered for this year's Amarnath Yatra, before the Pahalgam terror attack, had confirmed their travel to the cave shrine. Sinha had pointed out that around 2,36,000 pilgrims had registered for the yatra before the terror attack that left 26 people - mostly tourists - dead at picturesque Baisaran meadows. That number has already been crossed now and the footfall is continuing even as there are still 20 more days to go as the yatra is scheduled to conclude on August 9. Last year, around 5,12,000 pilgrims had performed the yatra....
