In the last such review on December 19, Shah directed security agencies to maintain coordination to eliminate terrorism in the region. The government has reiterated that terrorist incidents, infiltration, and recruitment have significantly declined.
Security forces recently intensified operations in Jammu & Kashmir, particularly in forested and high-altitude areas near the Line of Control (LoC), targeting terrorists responsible for multiple attacks last year. Areas like Reasi, Doda, Kishtwar, Kathua, Jammu, and Rajouri have witnessed increased terrorist activity in recent years. (KNS)
