In his statement, Singh, who previously served as the governor of Jammu and Kashmir, highlighted the growing terrorism threat in the region. 'I trust civilian and military officials are working to apprehend the militants swiftly. My condolences to the bereaved families and prayers for the recovery of the wounded,' Singh said.

Singh suggested to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh the restoration of the Nagrota Corps' jurisdiction over Jammu Division, citing the proximity of Nagrota, which is just thirty miles from Jammu, as opposed to the Western Command in Chandigarh, located over 200 miles away.
