Early Times Report
Srinagar, Nov 10: Security forces have decided to intensify anti-terrorism operations in the Valley, as three more paramilitary companies have been sent to south Kashmir, official sources said on Thursday.
The forces had halted anti-militancy operations in Kashmir in view of the unrest which erupted after the killing of Burhan Wani on July 8.
As the situation has improved, the forces have resumed anti-militancy operations in south Kashmir by killing a local militant of Shopian district last week," sources said.
Army officers had called it a "swift encounter" that gave no time to sympathisers to gather in numbers and attempt to overwhelm the security forces, as has happened at encounter sites recently, especially if the militants happen to be from the area.
"Most of the militants are active in south Kashmir. Three more companies have been sent to south Kashmir to eliminate all militants there," a top security official said. "Main role of these companies is to kill these militants. They will be assisted by other security forces agencies there," he added.
A police official said that forces have been put on high alert in view of increase in militant attacks. "Security forces are is effectively dealing with law and order problems, protests and stone pelting effectively, without use of any lethal force, despite severe provocation and grievous injuries to security men," he said.
"All CRPF camps have been alerted and security has been strengthened and troops have been briefed to be ready to deal with any unforeseen law and order problem, without use of lethal weapons," said sources.
Police have also launched a crackdown on the people who disturb law and order in the Valley. Fearing arrest, scores of youth have gone into hiding. A police official said the police was collecting the CCTV footages and details across the Valley from other sources to identify the people involved in destroying the public property.
Police has also established helplines in the police control rooms of the respective districts for the general public who wish to inform regarding the "harassment by hooligans, stoppage and disruption of the traffic by miscreants, damage/arson of the traffic by miscreants, damage/arson to the public property or obstacles erected on roads/bylanes". |
