Jammu, Jan 18 (NationPress) On Saturday, the J&K Police disclosed the images of four active terrorists operating in the Kishtwar district and declared a reward of Rs 5 lakh for any information leading to their capture.
The police assured that the identities of those providing information would remain confidential and encouraged the public to share any relevant details regarding these individuals.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy to combat terrorism in the area and enhance public safety. The police have called for community support in their mission to bring these criminals to justice.
The Army, security forces, and police have intensified their anti-terrorism operations targeting not only the terrorists but also their over-ground workers (OGWs) and sympathizers, aiming to dismantle the terrorism network in J&K.
The vigorous pursuit of terrorists by security forces commenced following heinous attacks carried out by these extremists in the Jammu division and the Kashmir Valley. These incidents occurred post the peaceful, participative Lok Sabha and Legislative Assembly elections, which were observed by diplomats from various nations.
Intelligence sources suggest that the successful execution of elections in J&K has frustrated the terror handlers based in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), leading them to instruct terrorists to make a final effort to revive dwindling terrorism in the region.
These handlers have allegedly directed terrorists to target the Army, security personnel, police, and civilians to create an atmosphere of fear among the public, especially after the significant voter turnout in J&K elections, which contradicts claims that the people of Kashmir do not support India's democratic process.
On October 20, 2024, two terrorists—one a foreign mercenary and the other a local operative—opened fire indiscriminately at a workers' camp in the Gagangir area of Ganderbal district, resulting in the deaths of seven civilians, including six non-local workers and a local doctor. These workers were involved in constructing the Sonamarg tunnel, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 13, making Sonamarg a year-round tourist attraction.
On October 24, terrorists ambushed an army vehicle in the Botapathri area of the Gulmarg ski resort, killing three soldiers and two civilian porters.
On November 2, 2024, a grenade was thrown by terrorists at the bustling Sunday Market near the tourist reception centre (TRC) in Srinagar, resulting in the death of a 42-year-old woman from Bandipora District, who was a mother of three, along with injuries to 11 other civilians.
