Only 137 active terrorists are reportedly active in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), with foreign terrorists (90) outnumbering local terrorists (47), according to a security review meeting held in J&K cited by the Times of India on April 14. Local recruitment has declined, and several local terrorists have been eliminated over time, leading to a decrease in local terrorist activity. However, the count of active foreign terrorists - largely cadres of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is higher as they may be using newer ways to escape technical surveillance and may have found safer hideouts. While only three infiltration bids from Pakistan were reported in 2023, all of which were foiled, the meeting discussed keeping the border security grid tight and deployment of anti-drone machines to tackle drone activity along the border in Jammu District.

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Baramulla, Amod Ashok Nagpuri, said, "Baramulla is a border district, and cross-border drugs and weapons smuggling is a big challenge for us. Over the last six months, Baramulla police have registered 187 FIRs under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. Around 284 drug peddlers were arrested, and another 34 notorious peddlers were booked under PIT, NDPS, and PSA. In total, 318 drug peddlers have been arrested so far, and the law is taking its own course. The focus of this drive is to crack down on the drug culture in Baramulla district, and our endeavour is to make Baramulla a drug-free district." The SSP said Pakistan’s aim is to push drugs all over the Kashmir Valley, adding that "we will not allow the nefarious designs of Pakistan to succeed. Recently, Baramulla police froze the properties, including a house and a car, of notorious drug dealers". The SSP Baramulla also informed us further that dedicated teams have been deployed to gather crucial intelligence on the drug mafia operating in the region.

Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbag Singh on July 24 said that Pakistan is following the Punjab model in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) to lure youth towards narcotics, reports Daily Excelsior. “When terrorism ended in Punjab, youth and people were lured towards drugs.

Militancy is on its deathbed in J&K but efforts from across are on to hook youth towards drugs,” he added. He warned that conspiracies from across the border are targeting the region's youth with drug infiltration.

Asserting that 99 per cent infiltration attempts from Pakistan on the border have been foiled in Jammu and Kashmir this year, Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbag Singh, on August 23, said the security agencies are fully alert and working to finish terrorism rather than just contain it, reports Daily Excelsior. DGP Singh said the border security grid is “much stronger than ever” with the addition of “new elements” to scuttle any attempt from Pakistan to push terrorists and smuggle arms and narcotics. “A number of encounters took place on the borders (in the recent past) which is a proof of the presence and alertness of our forces who are engaging them (infiltrators) at their place of choosing and neutralising them (before they manage to sneak into Jammu and Kashmir),” the DGP said. Security Forces (SFs) foiled several infiltrations attempts along the Line of Control (LoC) in north Kashmir and Poonch-Rajouri belt of Pir Panjal in the Jammu region in the recent past, killing nearly a dozen infiltrators and seizing huge consignments of arms, explosives and narcotics over the past two months. “Though the infiltration attempts are going on, we do not see an upward trend. Our border security grid is much stronger than before with the addition of new elements (to thwart infiltration attempts from Pakistan). We have already foiled 99 per cent of such attempts this year,” Dilbag Singh said, adding, “Our efforts are not only to contain terrorism but to finish it completely. Whenever an infiltration attempt is being made, whether we had prior information or not about it, our security arrangements are such that they (infiltrators) walk into our net.”
