A Border Security Force (BSF) Inspector and two civilians including an infant and a woman were killed while 24 others, five of them Security Force (SF) personnel were injured, as Pakistan army pounded civilian locations and forward posts with long range mortar shells and artillery fire along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch District on April 1, reports Daily Excelsior. Reports said Pakistan army activated Shahpur, Kirni, Qasba and all surrounding sectors near Poonch and Mendhar, Balakote, Mankote, Dabraj, Sagra and Balnoi along the LoC around 7.45 am simultaneously, targeting forward posts of Army and BSF and pounding civilian locations with long range mortar shells and artillery fire. According to report, five-year-old girl, Sobia Koser, a resident of BandiChechian, BSF Inspector T Alex Lalminlun and 33-year old woman, Sajyat Bi were killed in Pakistan shelling and firing. The BSF Inspector was killed at Mankote sector. “Such was intensity of shelling that couple of mortar shells fell at Digwar, which was located hardly a kilometer from Ward No. 1 of Poonch town,’’ sources said, adding Pakistan army had used 1200 mm mortar shells, which have range of four to five kilometers and artillery fire, spreading panic among the people. This was after a long time that mortar shells fell close to Poonch town, the people recalled. However, business as usual continued in Poonch town with precautionary measures. Army, BSF, Police and local people rushed to the villages, where security personnel and civilians had been hit by mortar shells and artillery fires. Late on April 1 evening, six civilians in two houses were injured in Pakistan shelling at Balnoi. As shelling continued, it took security forces quite some time to evacuate them from their houses.

Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) leadership has become non-existent in Jammu and Kashmir after Security Forces (SFs) launched a massive assault against the outfit following the Pulwama suicide attack, said General-Officer-Commanding (GoC) of the Army’s Srinagar-based 15 corps, Lieutenant General KJS Dhillon on April 6, reports Greater Kashmir. He said that two militants were killed in Shopian District on April 6 and one of the slain militants was an M.Tech student from Ganderbal District. “I request the youth and students who have picked up guns to surrender. Today life of a militant varies from three days to 30 days to three months to few months. My appeal to gun-wielding youth is to return, live a peaceful life and we will help in rehabilitating them”. The GoC also said that in 2018, more than 250 militants were killed in Jammu and Kashmir and this year (2019) the figure is touching 70 so far. “This year, post-Lethpora suicide attack on February 14, we targeted the Jaish leadership and as of today, I can assure you that Jaish leadership is non-existent in Kashmir, though its men will come again but we will eliminate them,” he said. The GoC said that at present, the recruitment of local boys into various militant outfits has “considerably gone down as compared to last year”. “The violence level is also low,” he said.

Jammu and Kashmir Police on April 7 arrested three Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militants from two South Kashmir Districts of Shopian and Pulwama, who had planned Pulwama-like terror attack at Banihal on March 31 and were in the process of fabricating more car bombs to target Security Force (SF) convoys on the Highways and other major roads, reports Daily Excelsior.

The security situation in Jammu and Kashmir has improved, according to the latest data compiled by the Central Government, reports The Print on April 18. After months of violence, local terror recruitment in Kashmir has come down, as have stone pelting incidents, especially during operations. Top sources in the security establishment said that a total of 18 local youth were recruited to militancy from Kashmir in the first three months of 2019. This is an improvement from the corresponding periods in 2018 and 2017, which saw 32 and 24 youngsters respectively join terror ranks. It’s a similar scenario when it comes to stone pelting – January 2019 witnessed just 16 incidents, and while the number rose to 61 in February, it fell again to 24 in March. In contrast, October 2018 had witnessed around 190 incidents of stone pelting. “At no point of time has the operations subsided. Till now, a total of 68 terrorists have been killed in the hinterland. The incidents of stone pelting and the intensity of the pelting has also come down during the operations,” a source said. Sources attributed the decline in recruitment and stone pelting incidents to the crackdown on the Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) Jammu and Kashmir and terror financing, the deployment of a higher number of security personnel and the beginning of the election process.

A Pakistani militant belonging to Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) outfit who was tasked with reviving militancy in certain areas of the Kashmir valley was arrested from Baramulla District, Police said on April 24, reports Daily Excelsior. Mohammad Waqar Awan alias ‘ChotaDujana, a resident of MohallaMiana in Mianwali area of Punjab in Pakistan, was arrested earlier this week and paraded before the media on April 24 at the Police Control Room in Srinagar. Awan told reporters that before he joined militancy, he was told that atrocities were being committed on the people of Kashmir by Security Forces (SFs) but he saw no such thing in the Valley. “I received training for four months at a camp in Muzaffarabad. I was told that atrocities are committed on children and women. Prayers are not allowed in mosques and houses of Muslims are destroyed,” he told reporters, adding he found that the conditions were different in Kashmir. Police officials said Awan’s arrest and ‘confession’ is a ‘live evidence’ for Pakistan as to how youths are manipulated on its soil, prepared for militancy and then sent here to join Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) or Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). Asked if he was involved in any attacks in the valley, Awan said, “I was not involved in any attack”. The Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) of Baramulla, Abdul Qayoom, said Awan had infiltrated in the valley in July 2017. “He was active in Handwara (area of north Kashmir’s Kupwara District). For the last about two years, he was active in different places of Srinagar.

The Central Government on April 24 released a strong evidence in favour of suspension of cross-Line of Control (LoC) trade between Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) on both Poonch-Rawlakote and Uri-Muzaffarabad routes by naming 10 Kashmiri militants of different outfits, who had floated firms and, were carrying out the trade and routing funds for terrorism and other undesirable activities in the Valley, reports Daily Excelsior. A document released by the Central Government, has named 10 militants, all of whom were Kashmiri residents but had crossed over to Pakistan and PoK for arms training. They had settled there over a period of time and later floated firms, reportedly in connivance with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to get involved in cross-LoC trade for smuggling weapons, fake currency and narcotics to the Valley and fund the militancy. The Government released names of 10 militants in less than a week after it suspended the cross-LoC trade on Chakan-Da-Bagh route in Poonch district of Jammu and Salamabad route in Baramulla district of Kashmir on April 18. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) had confirmed that the trade had virtually been taken over by the militant outfits especially Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM). “Investigations have revealed that 10 militants identified by the Government had opened trading firms in Pakistan and were active in cross-LoC trade,’’ sources said, adding that these militants were either based in Islamabad and Rawalpindi in Pakistan or Muzaffarabad in PoK and were carrying out the cross-LoC trade with active involvement of Pakistan and PoK Governments, concerned authorities and Pakistan’s ISI. They (the militants) were operating businesses ranging from almonds, dry dates, and dry fruits to mangoes as part of the modus operandi to send money to fuel unrest in Jammu and Kashmir on behalf of the ISI, sources said.

The Commander of the Srinagar-based Chinar Corps, Lieutenant General K J S Dhillon on April 24 said that after the Pulwama terror attack the Security Forces (SFs) launched an offensive against the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) in the Kashmir Valley, resulting in a situation where no one is willing to take up the leadership of the outfit, reports Daily Excelsior. “Forty-one militants were killed. Twenty-five of them belonged to JeM. Thirteen were foreign terrorists - Pakistanis and category A plus and above,” said Lieutenant GeneralDhillon in Srinagar. “We targeted the JeM leadership and the situation now is such that there is no one willing to take up the leadership of the JeM in the Valley. In spite of Pakistan’s best efforts, we will continue to suppress the JeM,” Dhillon said. The Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbag Singh said that 2018 and the current year so far had been successful in containing militancy in the Valley, barring stray incidents, including the February 14 Pulwama terror attack, reports Daily Excelsior. “This year, stone-pelting and law and order engagements reduced drastically. We did face some law and order situations during counter-insurgency operations, but those have been fewer than before,” Singh said. He said the recruitment of local youths into militancy has dipped. “That is a very healthy sign. There were very large-scale successes in counter-insurgency operations. Two-seventy-two terrorists were neutralised in 2018 and many were apprehended,” he said, adding “we stopped a very big number of youths from joining the wrong path (militancy).” The DGP said militants killed last year included many commanders of JeM and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). “A total of 46 foreign militants have been killed last year and in the current year - 27 belonged from JeM and 19 from LeT. Foreign elements getting neutralised has made a big dent to the ongoing militancy,” he said. The DGP said the successes during the current year have been quite commendable and troops on the ground have done a very good job. He also said planning by the officers led to smooth conduct of the first three phases of the Parliamentary polls.
