Combatting terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir… The force has been increased but it will take time to regain the old grip

New Delhi : Three attacks one after another in Reasi, Kathua, Doda in Jammu have again raised the same question that why terrorist incidents have suddenly increased in Jammu in the recent past. After Rajouri-Poonch, Doda, Reasi have also come on the target of terrorists. For about two decades, these areas were generally considered peaceful but now terrorists have started targeting not only security forces but also common people and tourists. Questions are being raised on intelligence due to the continuous terrorist incidents.

The amount of force withdrawn did not return

Indian Army forces – Romeo, Delta, Uniform Force were responsible for different areas here. But about four years ago, when tensions with China on the LAC in Eastern Ladakh increased and the situation reached violent clashes, the uniform force was removed from here and sent to the LAC. Three brigade-size soldiers were reduced from here. Due to their reduced number, the remaining forces also got the responsibility of those areas where the uniform force was deployed. According to experts, the terrorists also took advantage of this and worked to stand up again. In the recent past, the Indian Army has deployed more soldiers to fill the gap in these areas, but according to sources, they still do not match the old number, that is, there is not as much force as there was four years ago. Also, to win the trust of the local people and create a human intelligence network, one has to work continuously and live among them. It will take time to fill the gap that has come in four years.

Jammu and Kashmir: Four attacks in four days, after Reasi, terrorists also attacked Kathua and Doda

Why are we not getting accurate intelligence from the police

Here all the security forces together run operations against the terrorists. Due to the reduced deployment of the army, their human intelligence network was affected because people trust only when you are constantly with them. The effect of the reduced force was visible. But the question is also that Jammu and Kashmir Police is constantly there but why is human intelligence not being found against the terrorists? The terrorists are running away after carrying out the crime and why are they not being traced. According to experts, it is difficult for terrorists to operate without local support, in such a situation the biggest weapon against terrorists is to strengthen human intelligence. According to sources, technical intelligence also fails many times because the terrorists are using the latest technology and it is not so easy to catch the signal.
