After reviving militancy in Kishtwar District by killing two top Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leaders among others since November last year and carrying out other terror acts, the militants were now planning to revive the militancy in Doda, Ramban, Rajouri and Poonch Districts, which had died down more than a decade back, official sources said but added that all security agencies were maintaining very high alert to ensure that these four districts don’t go the Kishtwar way.
Inspector General of Police (IGP), Jammu Zone, MK Sinha said that two LeT militants have been arrested in Gool area of Ramban while two more were being searched in the mountainous areas, where they were reported to have fled after the arrest of their two colleagues by Army and Police Describing arrests and recoveries as ‘big breakthrough’, Sinha said the militants have been shifted to ‘safe and secure zone’ for sustained questioning to get details of their plan to revive militancy in the otherwise peaceful district of Ramban. He declared that Security Forces (SFs) were determined to thwart the plots of terror outfits to disturb the peaceful areas.
