External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, made an attack on Pakistan on January 3, terming it as "epicentre of terrorism", reports NDTV. He said that the impacts of cross-border terrorism cannot be limited within a region, especially when they are deeply linked to the drugs and illegal weapons trade, as well as other forms of international crime. Jaishankar had a detailed discussion on the threats to international peace and security that are posed by terrorism, including its cross-border practices, violent extremism, radicalisation and fundamentalism with Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg on January 3. In reference to the Mumbai 2008 terror attacks (26/11), he said, “This is a country which has attacked the Parliament of India some years ago, which attacked the city of Mumbai, which went after hotels, and foreign tourists, which every day sends terrorists across the border.” He also hit out at the European countries for not condemning Pakistan. "When we speak about judgments and principles, why don't I hear sharp European condemnation of these practices that have been going on for decades?" he said.

Responding to a written question, Rai said the number of LWE-related deaths has decreased from an all-time high of 1005 in 2010 to just 98 in 2022. The minister also said the decline in the geographical spread of violence is also reflected in the reduced number of districts covered under the security-related expenditure (SRE) scheme.

Security Forces (SFs) in Bastar are all set to launch ‘Operation Monsoon’ — a major anti-Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) campaign — in the interiors and border areas of the insurgency-hit districts from June to September, reports The Times of India on June 27. Previously, operations in remote and interior areas used to be paused during the rains, inadvertently giving space to Maoists to carry out recruitment drives or hold meetings with villagers. For the past three-four years, however, specially trained units of state and central security forces have pressed on with operations in forests in monsoon, resulting in the killing of 29 Maoists in encounters since 2020. The past years’ operations have been an example against the perceived notion that security forces wouldn’t be able to carry out operations due to overflowing nullahs, canals and slippery terrain in the forests of Bastar, a Police officer said. Bastar range Inspector general of Police (IGP) Sundarraj P told that security camps established in more than 60 spots in the remote areas have “choked the Maoists” and become “bottleneck points” for movement of the insurgents, while giving forces access to the forests. “Earlier, operations would be stalled but for the past 3-4 years, our ops continue during the (rainy) season, bringing results. CRPF [Central Reserve Police Force], CoBRA [Commando Battalion for resolute Action] and Special Task Force [STF] will be carrying out operations as they are well trained in jungle warfare. An action plan is in place to deal with the challenges of monsoon in the forest and conduct searches,” Sundarraj said. The inter-state operations on bordering areas like Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra will also be intensified in the coming weeks and the jawans were well equipped for it. The morale of SFs is high despite casualties, the senior Police officer said. “We have recorded significant positive operational outcomes during this monsoon, since we have made decisive inroads into the erstwhile Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] strongholds by opening strategic operational base camps,” said Sundarraj.

Terror suspect Saddam Sheikh, who was arrested in Lucknow District of Uttar Pradesh (UP) on July 2, 2023, was planning to use a truck to carry out an attack taking cue from similar attacks in France and Germany in the past, officials of the UP Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) said, reports Times of India on July 10. "Saddam is a lone wolf who is highly radicalised and was preparing himself psychologically for the attack. He was planning to use his vehicle as a lethal weapon. He was inspired by the module and used to watch videos of terror attacks involving 'trucks' on a daily basis," additional director general (ATS) Naveen Arora said, adding that though his target was not yet clear, Saddam was planning to attack a crowded area. Saddam told interrogators that he was influenced by terrorists like Osama bin Laden, Zakir Musa, Riyaz Naikoo, Naved Jatt, and Sameer Tiger, with their photographs and videos recovered from his mobile phone. He also kept in touch with militants in Pakistan through an app, which is a proprietary audio/video calling and instant messaging software service.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on July 13 issued ‘wanted’ notices for top Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leaders in connection with the double murder of former Andhra Pradesh Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Siveri Soma and Kidari Sarveshwara Rao, reports Telangana Today.

Reports of fresh 1,200 Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) recruits and their training by the Maoists in the bordering District of Chhattisgarh have left Security Forces (SFs) in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra on their toes along the 180-kilometre border with the state, reports The Times of India on July 15. Maharashtra forces, which have already alerted the Central Government about the Maoists trying to bounce back in Chhattisgarh, have put their security and intelligence units on high alert on the stretch between Kanker-Narayanpur and Bijapur national park. A senior official from the security and intelligence wings said around 1,000 cadres have been recruited by the Maoists in Dantewada and Sukma regions. Another 200–250 new cadres were recruited by the Maoists in South Bastar. "Earlier, there were barely 50–100 cadres in south Bastar and 200–400 in Dantewada and Sukma, which now have swelled to a substantial number after fresh recruitment," said the official. He said the concern was that Maoists would regroup and try to bounce back to their former strength in Chhattisgarh, which would not augur well for Gadchiroli and Gondia across the border in Maharashtra. Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIGP) Sandip Patil, also the chief of the Anti-Naxal Operations (ANO) for Maharashtra, said the central government has been briefed about the developments in Chhattisgarh, which may now affect Maharashtra too, but did not divulge further details. "Maharashtra forces are ready with strategies to counter any fresh threats," he said. It’s been learned that the Maoists are planning major attacks on Police posts that the Governments of different states are opening in their strongholds in central India. The Maoists’ ‘technical and research’ wing is said to be developing Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIED) to blow them up near Police posts after mounting them on tractors or four-wheelers used in the rural areas. The Maoists are also developing drones to carry and drop up to five kilograms of explosives on Police Stations. In the latest issue of their mouthpiece, the Naxals [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] claim to have well responded to the aerial attacks and surveillance in Chhattisgarh with their counter strategy.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on July 14, arrested two Over Ground Workers (OGWs), identified as Mushaib Fayaz Baba alias Shoaib, and Hilal Yaqoob Deva alias Sethi Soab, from Srinagar District of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), during a series of raids conducted at the residential premises of OGWs of the banned terrorist organizations and their newly-floated offshoots and affiliates, reports Daily Excelsior. Police stated that the duo belonged to Shopian District and were working for Pak-based commanders and handlers of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and its shadow outfit The Resistance Front (TRF), among others. “The conspiracy had been hatched by cadres and OGWs of various proscribed terrorist outfits in cohort with their commanders based in Pakistan. These cadres and OGWs were actively involved in the collection and distribution of huge consignments of narcotics, cash, small arms/weapons, Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and other types of IEDs, including remote-controlled sticky bombs / magnetic bombs.

On July 16, Baramulla Police said it conducted a massive crackdown on narcoterrorism at various locations from Uri along the Line of Control (LoC) to other parts of Baramulla District over the last few days, arresting 318 drug peddlers while recovering huge consignments of drugs, reports Daily Excelsior. Pakistan-based handlers, as part of a conspiracy, are using smugglers to push narcotics into Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and get the younger generation addicted to drugs, the Police said. 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.

A total of 76 terrorists including 55 foreigners were neutralised, 291 terrorist associates arrested and 201 over ground workers booked under the Public Safety Act in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) this year, Director General of Police (DGP) R R Swain said on December 30, reports Daily Excelsior. DGP Swain further said that only 31 local terrorists, an all-time low, are left in the Union Territory, while the recruitment of locals into militancy has witnessed a drop of 80 per cent this year. “In 48 anti-terrorist operations, we have neutralised 76 terrorists, including 55 foreigners. The trend of foreign terrorists getting killed more starting in 2022 and continued this year, making it clear that our actual fight is against infiltrators,” he said, asserting that the anti-terrorism operations will continue next year with more vigour. He said there are 31 identified local terrorists –– four in Jammu region’s Kishtwar and 27 in the valley — who are active and the number is at an all-time low. “There is an 80 per cent decline in terror recruitment this year. Year-on-year comparison shows that 130 locals joined terrorism in 2022 and this year, till date the number is 22. We will try to stop the recruitment completely which is essential to end the cycle of violence. “When there is recruitment, action happens and the fallout follows, continuing the cycle. I am seeing the decline in recruitment as saving 113 people from getting killed this year,” he said. The DGP said that against 31 civilian killings by terrorists last year, the number dropped to 14 this year and the terror-related incidents declined from 125 in 2022 to 46 in 2023, recording a drop of 63 per cent. “Four policemen including a DSP and an inspector were martyred this year, against 14 last year, thus recording a 71 per cent decline,” he added. 291 terror associates, who provide logistic support, work as guides and identify targets, were arrested this year compared to 373 last year, DGP Swain added further. “We have strengthened the record building and surveillance system by utilising technology and a repeat offender can now be easily identified and ensured a maximum sentence,” he added. The DGP said 201 over ground workers (OGWs) – 171 in Kashmir and the rest in Jammu zone – were detained under the PSA, while 89 terror modules, including 78 in Kashmir and 11 in Jammu, were busted this year. Swain said 18 terrorist hideouts were unearthed with 12 in the valley and six in Jammu region. He said 99 properties, linked to terrorism and separatism, worth more than Rs 170 crore, were attached including 57 by the State Investigation Agency.
