New Delhi : The Union Home Minister, Amit Shah, reviewed Jammu and Kashmir’s security today, in the wake of a spate of terrorist activities recently. The security review meeting convened top officials of the Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police and paramilitary forces to assess the current security scenario and ongoing anti-terror operations in the union territory.
This review follows Monday’s terror attack in the Kulgam district, where an ex-serviceman, Manzoor Ahmad Wagay, lost his life and his wife and niece were injured. This was a follow-up of the security review Shah had given on December 19, 2024, when he had directed security agencies to keep the efforts to curb terrorism in the region well coordinated.
Although the government has reported a significant decline in terrorist incidents, infiltration, and recruitment of youth into terrorist organizations, security forces have increased their operations. Last week, they launched a major operation focusing on higher reaches and forest areas along the Line of Control, aimed at neutralizing terrorists responsible for multiple attacks across different districts last year.
To date, the security situation has particularly caught much attention in areas comprising Reasi, Doda, Kishtwar, Kathua, Jammu, and Rajouri districts of the state, where terrorist activity has been increased over the last two years.
