In Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir, a tragic event unfolded on Saturday as an encounter between security forces and terrorists resulted in the death of one militant. The incident took place in the Watergam area of Baramulla district, where an intense exchange of gunfire had erupted earlier in the day.
According to an official, the clash resulted in the death of one terrorist, whose identity is currently being determined. The operation is still ongoing in the area as security forces, including the army, paramilitary forces, and local police, continue their efforts to rid the region of terrorism. These efforts have been ongoing for the past three months, with a heightened sense of security being maintained throughout Jammu and Kashmir to ensure the safety of its citizens and prevent any disturbances during the upcoming Assembly elections.
To strengthen their forces, over 300 additional companies of paramilitary forces have been deployed in Jammu and Kashmir to support the existing security forces and secure the democratic process. Reports of foreign terrorists operating in the hilly districts of the Jammu division prompted the army to deploy over 4,000 trained soldiers, including elite Para commandos and those specialized in mountain warfare, to protect the mountain tops in the region.
The terrorists have been carrying out ambush attacks against the army, security forces, and civilians in various districts over the past two months, including Kathua, Doda, Poonch, Rajouri, Reasi, and Udhampur. Their tactic has been to launch sudden attacks and then disappear into the dense forests and foliage of these areas. To counter this, the army and CRPF have been deployed deep within the forests, depriving the terrorists of their element of surprise.
Senior security forces officers believe that this revised strategy has been effective in keeping the terrorists engaged in encounters, preventing them from carrying out sneak attacks. This has led to a decrease in successful attacks, as the security forces work tirelessly to protect and serve the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
