new Delhi. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) may review the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir in view of the recent attacks on civilians and security personnel. Sources gave this information on Sunday. On Sunday, a CRPF jawan Mukhtar Ahmed, who had come home on leave in Shopian district, was gunned down by terrorists, the fourth such attack on security personnel in the last three days.
Ahmed died on the way to the hospital.
Sarpanch Shabbir Ahmed Mir was shot dead by terrorists in Kulgam on the outskirts of Srinagar on Friday, while Khanmoh sarpanch Bashir Ahmed Bhat was killed two days ago.
On March 7, two civilians were killed and at least 35 people were injured, including a police officer, in a grenade attack at Amira Kadal, a busy Sunday street market in Srinagar.
Security has been beefed up across the Union Territory, especially in the Kashmir Valley, while drones are also being used to monitor forest areas.
Sources said that the terrorists have been hiding in the forests since the attack.
Intelligence agencies have identified ‘some locations’ near Srinagar and Baramulla districts and a coordinated operation has been planned against these terrorists in coordination with the Special Operations Group (SOG) of Jammu and Kashmir Police.
According to messages intercepted by intelligence agencies, Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence is “angry” at not doing “nothing bigger” to terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir and forcing them to carry out a major terror attack on security forces.
Recently, the Jammu and Kashmir Police has recovered a cache of weapons dropped by drones along the International Border in RS Pura sector. The SOG had launched a massive search operation.
The arsenal included two magazines, 70 cartridges, one pistol, three detonators, three remotely controlled IEDs, three bottles of explosives, a bundle of cortex wires, two timer IEDs and six grenades.
