Amidst the prevailing signs of threats, scourges and conspiracies, terror seems to be vitiating the peaceful environs of Himachal Pradesh. Brotherhood, love, peace and respect runs in the blood and brain of Himachalies. But it seems some evil forces are conspiring against hill state. This definitely could be the act of some foreign or anti-national forces to destabilise the peaceful atmosphere of Himachal Pradesh. While Himachalies were struggling to forget terror incidents like attack on shooting range of army at Damtal, seizure of audio cassette supporting Al-Qaeda at Alhilal, terror attack in Satrundi Kalaban which claimed lives of 35 poor workers about two decades ago, few incidents happening back to back in last three months have again increased worry.

Incidents like bomb explosion and capture of dynamite in Nahan, seizure of a hoard of bullets in Kala Amb, ISIS slogans written on walls in Chirgaon and at Mata Mansa Devi Temple at Dharampur in Solan definitely create a scary atmosphere. Similar incident was also reported in Subathu cantonment. After that central agencies captured ISIS terrorist Aabid from a church in Banjar in Kullu in December 2016. And now, ISIS posters were found pasted in Subathu cantonment creating scare in entire area.

It seems the harbinger of terrorism wanted to scare entire Himachal and they have taken the route from Solan while our police system is in deep slumber. The police have not been able to hunt down the real culprits behind Solan poisoning case and Chirgaon and Dharampur cases have not been able to move beyond FIR. Recent incidents indicate that conspirators are targeting army areas, industrial areas, tourism spots and educational institutes. It is an effort to bleed Himachal by heart. Despite some lackings of the state government and police machinery, Himachalis have the capability to defeat anti-national forces with their discretion and courage. They have always come forward whenever the nation required. First Param Vir Chakra winner too hails from hill state. From Vikram Batra to Sanjay Kumar to Major Sudhir Walia, the valour and glory enshrines in nook and corner of this state. Himachali youths remain always ready to take on any challenge thrown by anti-national forces. This is also why such forces could never emerge stronger here. Unity and alertness are jewels of Himachalis. We have to awaken citizens to defeat the evil plot of anti-national forces. Being little cuatious, we can contribute for the safety of the state and nation.
