J&K DGP Dilbagh Singh confirmed the involvement of Pakistan in the Kokernag attack, which led to a week-long encounter in the union territory.
Singh said the attempts to revive militancy in the border districts of Rajouri and Poonch and adjoining Reasi was scuttled to a large extent by the security forces through various successful operations, while attempts are on to neutralize those who have managed to infiltrate into this side. "We have had back to back successful operations in Reasi and Rajouri in the recent past, resulting in the killing of (several) terrorists," he said.
Jammu and Kashmir DGP Dilbag Singh stated that the recent Kokernag encounter has not disrupted the peaceful environment in the valley and that militancy is currently at its lowest in Kashmir. Singh explained that the militants had the advantage of firing first in the encounter, resulting in the loss of lives of several army personnel and a police officer. He emphasized that the situation in the region was normal before and after the incident, dismissing any misconceptions that it would have a significant impact.
In the age of information warfare, misrepresenting the adversary in counter-terrorist operations can demoralize own forces and benefit terrorists.
The Anantnag operation has evolved into one of the most prolonged military engagements in Kashmir but the security forces are sparing no effort in their mission to eradicate terrorist hideouts nestled within the challenging terrain of Gadool Hill.
