| 64% rise in terror incidents in J&K over 2 Years, As BJP-PDP alliance splinters | | | Agencies
Mumbai, June 19: There was a 64% rise in terror incidents in Jammu and Kashmir over three years to 2017, providing some perspective to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) decision to call off its three-year alliance with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Over 800 terror incidents have been reported in J&K over the three years ending 2017-up from 208 in 2015 to 342 in 2017-according to an IndiaSpend analysis of government data.
As many as 744 people died in these three years: 471 terrorists, 201 security forces and 72 civilians, the data show.
In was amidst this scenario eight months ago that home minister Rajnath Singh said the situation in the conflict ridden state was "improving". "I don't want to claim that everything is completely fine but things are improving, this I can say with firm belief," Singh said on September 11, 2017.
The state saw the most terror incidents in 2017 since 2010, which saw 488 incidents.
J&K witnessed the fewest terror incidents (170) over the last 28 years in 2013. Since then, incidents have more than doubled over the last four years to 2017.
The PDP and the BJP formed a coalition government in Jammu & Kashmir in March 2015. Since then armed encounters between militants and security forces have increased by 53% over the preceding three years, IndiaSpend reported on May 18, 2018. |
