Taking over as IG (ops) Kashmir sector on 10 Sept 2020 has been an occasion of immense pride and honour , rendering me an opportunity to contribute and serve its rich and proud legacy.

Kashmir ops Sector was established in 2005 with Headquarters at Pantha chowk, Srinagar. Kashmir Ops sector spans across whole of Kashmir - Kupwara in North to Jawahar Tunnel in South and Pahalgam in East to Shopian in West. Operational jurisdiction of Kashmir Ops Sector is divided into three ranges namely Anantnag ops Range , South Kashmir (ops) Range, North Kashmir (ops) Range, and over 26 BN’s which are deployed in Anantnag, Kulgam, Awantipura, Pulwama, Shopian, Bandipora, Baramulla, Kupwara, and Sopore districts.

In J& K , Kashmir Ops sector has remained committed in eliminating the Pakistan sponsored terror menace from Kashmir. KOS has played a crucial role in successfully organizing Shri Amarnathji Yatra over the years and in providing security cover to all the pilgrims.
