The Indian Army has turned its ears to the input that 30-35 Pakistani terrorists are hiding in Doda and Kishtwar areas of Jammu and Kashmir. Despite the harsh weather, the Indian Army has launched an intensive search operation against the terrorists in these snowy areas. Intelligence agencies have shared information about terrorists hiding in these areas with the army.
According to Indian Army sources, there is a decrease in terrorist incidents in the winter season, but this time the army has changed its strategy and has intensified its operations even in winter. For this, help of Army as well as Jammu and Kashmir Police and CRPF has been taken.
Rashtriya Rifles deployed
According to intelligence, due to the winter of Chillaye Kalan, terrorists have reached the higher reaches of Doda and Kishtwar to hide. In such a situation, Rashtriya Rifles (RR) units of the Indian Army have been deployed in these high altitude and extremely dangerous areas for counter-terrorism operations. These units have been equipped with drones and thermal imaging equipment.
The Chilla Kalan season of Jammu and Kashmir experiences bone-melting cold. This season usually lasts from 21st December to 31st January. During this time, there is heavy snowfall in the high altitude areas of Doda-Kishtwar, but the Indian Army is fully geared up for winter operations.
Army created surveillance posts to keep an eye on terrorists
The special thing is that the Pakistani terrorists who carried out the Pahalgam massacre had also reached Anantnag in South Kashmir via Doda and Kishtwar. This is the reason why the army is not ready to leave any scope this time.
According to the information, the Army has prepared temporary bases and surveillance posts in the snowy areas of Doda and Kishtwar, so that a close watch can be kept on the movement of terrorists. The Indian Army has very carefully analyzed the intelligence received from multi-agencies and identified the movements and hiding places of the terrorists.
Indian Army giving edge to winter operations
The Indian Army is waiting for accurate information, so that the terrorists can be eliminated along with the police and CRPF. The Indian Army is trying to conduct joint operations. By doing this, overlap can be avoided and terrorists can be attacked fiercely.
The Army has also sharpened its winter operations because inputs were received that terrorists are pressurizing local villagers to seek food and shelter. There is an attempt to isolate the terrorists due to the presence of the army.
