He said, “I think guns are given preference over pens in Pakistan and therefore, there is a need to strengthen our measures to give security clearance for Pakistani visas." “If youths go for study (in Pakistan) and join terrorism there, then we definitely need to tighten the process of security clearance for study and other visas for travel to Pakistan. "Many young men went to Pakistan on valid documents pertaining to student or tourist visas in 2017-18. It is evident we need to take strict measures and strengthen the security clearance system before giving student visas," he said. The DGP said four terrorists who had infiltrated from Machil-Gurez sector of north Kashmir were eliminated in Bandipora on July 23-24.
