On February 19, Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir detected two suspicious objects on Tuesday, one in Shopian’s Kashwa Chitragam village and another in Tral’s Pinglish Nagwadi village. Both areas were cordoned off and bomb disposal squads were deployed to defuse the objects, which are suspected to be improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
The discoveries were made amid heightened vigilance following recent high-level security meetings chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha. Intelligence reports suggest potential terrorist infiltration risks due to low snowfall along traditional mountain routes.
In response to the situation, security forces have been aggressively carrying out anti-terrorist operations in the union territory. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has ordered the security forces to ensure zero infiltration and zero tolerance to terrorists.
The incidents come after two soldiers were killed in an IED explosion in the Akhnoor sector of the LoC in Jammu district on February 11. The Indian Army has been taking action against ceasefire violations along the LoC, and the situation remains under close monitoring.
Security Measures in Place
To prevent such incidents, the security forces have intensified their operations in the region. The army, police and paramilitary forces are working together to maintain law and order and prevent terrorist activities.
The security forces have also appealed to the general public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities. The people of Jammu and Kashmir have been cooperating with the security forces, which has helped in maintaining peace and stability in the region.
Investigation Underway
An investigation into the incidents has been launched and the security forces are working to identify the perpetrators behind the planting of the IEDs. The police have registered a case under relevant sections of the law and are conducting further investigations.
The security forces are also reviewing the security arrangements in the region to prevent such incidents in the future. The situation remains under close monitoring and the security forces are taking all necessary measures to maintain peace and stability in the region.
Terrorist Infiltration Risks
The low snowfall along traditional mountain routes has increased the risk of terrorist infiltration into the region. The security forces are taking all necessary measures to prevent such infiltration and are maintaining a high level of vigilance along the LoC.
The Indian Army has also been conducting operations to prevent terrorist infiltration and has been successful in foiling several attempts in the recent past. The security forces are working together to maintain peace and stability in the region and prevent terrorist activities.
