The Jammu and Kashmir government on Monday  said there would be no lowering of guard on the security front along the the borders of the country.

"The government will not lower guard on security front in protecting our borders," Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed told the Assembly in Jammu. He commended the police, paramilitary forces and the Army for having done a commendable job in bringing peace to the state.

"The situation looks normal in Kashmir. The security forces, Army, central security forces and police played a major role for that, but the biggest change has been brought by the people who safeguarded democracy," he said.

Crediting the people of the state for giving a strong mandate in the Assembly elections held last year, Sayeed said it was a historic opportunity to change the fate of the state and people had realised that participation in the democratic process was the only option.

"Since 1947, how many problems we have faced. This mandate is a turning point, our history can change," he said, adding that change will be felt at grassroots level.

Terming Jammu and Kashmir as "a garden of democracy", he said people from outside carry an impression that the airport was like a jail.

"I will talk to the police DG so as to make our police receptive and friendly. Even in US, travellers have to go through a rigorous screening process at the airport," he said.
