Srinagar, Nov 22 (NationPress) In a relentless effort to combat terrorism, their over-ground workers (OGWs), sympathizers, and drug traffickers, the police on Saturday seized the assets of a local individual in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district. This individual is reportedly connected to terrorist operations based in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Authorities confirmed that police in the Awantipora region of Pulwama have confiscated property belonging to a resident allegedly collaborating with terrorist activities from Pakistan and PoK.
The property, situated at Syedabad Pastoona, Tral, was linked to a local identified as Mubashir Ahmad, the son of Ghulam Nabi Dar, who resides in Syedabad Pastoona, Tral.
“This property was identified as belonging to the aforementioned terror handler during investigations conducted by the Awantipora Police,” officials noted.
“It is important to highlight that Mubashir Ahmad has actively participated in promoting and revitalizing terrorist activities by facilitating the smuggling of arms and ammunition into the region and energizing local terror networks,” they further stated.
“This operation underscores the firm commitment of the Awantipora Police to fight against terrorism and dismantle its underlying infrastructure in the area,” officials added.
While the army secures the line of control (LoC) and the Border Security Force (BSF) protects the International Border (IB) from infiltration and other disruptive actions, the J&K Police and security forces conduct anti-terrorism operations within the territory.
These anti-terror operations also target drug traffickers, drug dealers, and individuals involved in hawala money schemes and other illegal financial endeavors.
It is believed that the funds generated through these illegal activities are used to sustain terrorism in J&K.
The coordinated efforts aim to dismantle the entire ecosystem of terror rather than merely focusing on the elimination of armed terrorists.
This revised strategy specifically targets terrorists, OGWs, their sympathizers, drug traffickers, hawala money operators, etc.
