Militancy proves a vortex even as Centre runs J&K as Union Territory for two years now
The Hindu
The official data accessed by The Hindu suggested that J&K saw 82 militant recruitments in the first seven months.
As Jammu and Kashmir completes two years (UT), militancy remains a major challenge to the security apparatus amid growing fears that the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan is likely to flip the striking capabilities of the militant outfits, especially the Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) and the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM). The Hindu package: The official data accessed by The Hindu suggested that J&K saw 82 militant recruitments in the first seven months, with the JeM’s focus growing on capital Srinagar where it managed local recruits between three to four. Earlier, the JeM would focus on the Pulwama-Awantipora-Tral belt in south Kashmir. In 2020, 163 locals were recruited into the militant ranks.More Related News
