Overview

  • Defence and intelligence sources say the Indian Army has intensified counter-terror operations in Jammu’s Kishtwar and Doda during the harsh winter phase.
  • Temporary winter bases and high-altitude surveillance posts support patrols designed to deny militants seasonal refuge in remote mountain belts.
  • Integrated operations combine the Army with J&K Police, CRPF, SOG, forest guards, Village Defence Guards and the civil administration for quicker, coordinated action.
  • Drones, thermal imagers, ground sensors and radars enable a surveillance–swift ops–surveillance cycle aimed at stopping terrorist regrouping.
  • Assessments place about 30–35 Pakistan-sponsored fighters in higher reaches, with reports of coercion attempts for supplies as local support declines, and operations are set to continue through winter.
