An Army Division, comprising around 15,000 troops, is being withdrawn from Jammu and Kashmir and some of its units have already returned to its base in the State of Himachal Pradesh, a senior Army officer said on September 1. On withdrawal of the 39 Mountain Division from Rajouri and Poonch border Districts to its base in Palampur in Himachal Pradesh (HP), General Officer Commanding (GOC), 9 Corps, Lt Gen G. M. Nair, said, "This Division is being shifted. Some of its units have already reached its base in HP." 39 Mountain Division was shifted to Rajouri and Poonch districts to assist joint security grid in conducting counter-insurgency operations and undertake counter infiltration measures in 1994. "It takes nearly six months to shift the entire Division," he said, adding the process is on. He also said Pakistan is building fortifications along the border and more than 50 militants are waiting to infiltrate into Jammu sector from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). "They (Pakistan) have dug up bunkers and ditches and set up a few observation towers along Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab borders," Lt Gen Nair said. Nearly 50 to 60 militants from PoK are waiting to sneak into Jammu sector prompting the Army to keep an extra vigil at the borders, he said.

Militants on September 1 carried out twin strikes on Security Forces in the capital Srinagar within 500 metres of the State Legislative Assembly, which is in session, killing two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers and injuring 26 others, Daily Excelsior reported. Militants armed with silencer-fitted pistols shot at two CRPF personnel from point blank range just outside the UCO Bank at Budshah Chowk, killing constables Rajesh Shekhar and Mulkranjan Rampa of the 28th Battalion. Minutes later, on the other side of Budshah Bridge, militants lobbed a hand grenade on CRPF troopers at Batamaloo, resulting in injuries to 26 persons, including four CRPF soldiers and two Policemen. Official sources said CRPF and Policemen seemed to be the target of the militant attack but many civilians were hit by the splinters as the area is usually crowded. The Deputy Inspector General of Police (Central Kashmir), Hemant Kumar Lohia, said Police has reasons to believe that the latest attacks and on August 1 were the handiwork of the same module of militants. "We have more or less identified the module of militants since taking up investigations in the cases of attacks. We have identified the call signs and codes of the members of these modules and now we have to fix a face to these," Lohia told reporters at a press conference. He said Police has been able to get some mugshots of the latest incidents from closed-circuit cameras installed in the city and identified a suspect who might be involved. "We will enlarge the shots and identify the person by verifying the registration details of the motorcycle he is riding," he added. He said two modules of up to nine members each are active in Srinagar and the Police have been tracking them. He said, "They are keeping the numbers low and the members are mostly from Hizbul Mujahideen and Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad. They keep lesser numbers in loop which helps them evade detection for a longer time." Asked if the militants were carrying out fresh recruitments within the Valley, the officer said it is a fact that it was happening. "If there were no recruitments by militants, there would be no militancy…. But it is not at the large scale as suggested," he said when asked to comment on reports that militants have managed to recruit 200 to 300 fresh youth.

Yet another infiltration attempt, backed by Pakistan troops, was made by a group of Pakistani militants from the Line of Control (LoC) at Sagra village in the Mendhar sector of Poonch district in the early hours of September 1. An Army trooper is reported to have died in the firing from across the LoC. "It was being ascertained as to whether the bullet was fired by Pakistan army or the militants trying to sneak-in. The bullet was fired from a sniper rifle which was available with top commanders of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen militants", official sources told the Daily Excelsior. The Indian Army is reported to have sought a flag meeting with Pakistan army commanders on the LoC to lodge a protest on both aspects – the cease-fire violation and infiltration attempt by the militants. According to sources, Pakistan army and Rangers have been using a new modus operandi on the LoC as well as the International Border (IB) to push militants. They first target forward Indian posts and then try to push the militants by diverting the attention of the Security Forces. However, the Pakistan army and Rangers have not succeeded in their plan so far, sources added.

The Hindustan Times quoting the Director General of Police (DGP) of Jammu and Kashmir, Kuldeep Khoda on September 7, reports that Infiltration from across the border is on the increase because Pakistani troops are providing cover to militants. "Infiltration has increased in the past two months. Pakistani troops and rangers are providing cover to militants to help them infiltrate into the Indian side," he added. However, militancy-related violence has declined by about 28 per cent in the State in the year 2009 as compared to the 2008, he said, adding that around 15 dreaded militants had been killed recently, including top commanders like Abu Hamza and Abu Jindal. "Despite an increase in infiltration and militant activities, the situation is under control," Khoda added further.

Sources said the militants parked an explosive laden Maruti car at a short distance away from the Central jail at Kathidarwaza in the old city area and used a remote control device to blow up the car as a police bus was passing by. The blast took place around 6.30pm (IST) when the Police personnel aboard the bus were returning to their District headquarters after dropping detenues at the Central jail. "It was a car bomb used by militants … so far, three persons have been killed while another 10 are injured," Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kashmir Farooq Ahmad Dar said. One of the deceased was identified as Assistant Sub Inspector Sagar Singh while the identity of another Policeman and the woman were yet to be identified till the reports last came in. 10 other Policemen, including the driver of the bus, constable Ali Mohammad, have been injured critically in the explosion.

In a sudden development across the Line of Control, Pakistan army and the militant commanders of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen have called back all local militants of this part of the State, who had for the past several months, abandoned the training camps in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and started working in shops and other business concerns within PoK and Pakistan. While exact number of the militants from Jammu and Kashmir, held up in PoK after training, was not available, intelligence inputs revealed that nearly 1000 of them had left the training camps of militants with the consent of LeT and HM commanders during last about a year and started working in shops and business houses. Many of them got engaged by the militant ‘commanders’ themselves at that time. Reports, however, suggested that the LeT and HM ‘commanders’ have sent messages to all these militants asking them to immediately report back to the training camps or face consequences. The messages to these militants were sent through over ground network of the militants as well as Police. The militants, majority of whom hailed from Kashmir valley besides Doda belt, Rajouri and Poonch Districts of Jammu region, have responded to the ‘dictates’ of militants and returned to the camps of militant outfits. The cadres, who have not returned so far, are being searched by the militants themselves to bring them back to the camps.

Four militants, including one ‘District Commander’ of the Hiz-bul-Mujahideen (HM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) each, an Army Major and a Marine commando were killed during two separate encounters in the Baramulla and Bandipora Districts, taking the death toll in the two-days gun battle to eight, official sources said on September 23, Daily Excelsior reported. In the encounter at Banyari village in the Bandipora District which started in the evening of September 22 and ended at 5pm on September 23 the Army eliminated HM ‘District Commander’ Pasha and the LeT ‘District Commander’ Moosa. Army Major, G. S. Suri, and a trooper, Khushal, were killed when they sustained bullet injuries during initial firing from militants as they entered a house where the militants were hiding. "A team of Army officers and soldiers entered a house at Banyari last evening (September 22). They came under heavy firing from militants in which four of them were injured. Major Suri and Naik Khushal were killed while two others managed to steer to safety in an injured condition," the sources said. "Two officers -- Major Gautam Raj Reshi and Major Kamlesh Kumar, NCO Mahipal Singh and Sepoy Naveen were injured," they added. The militants were hiding in a house which was cordoned off by the Security Forces (SFs) and, as reported earlier, reinforcements were rushed to spot and the house was cordoned off to prevent the militants from escaping from the spot, leading to a fierce exchange of firing between the two holed up militants and the SFs. Pasha, a foreign militant, was active in the area for the last more than 10 years and was considered to be the driving force behind many attacks on the SFs and political workers. Moosa, who was working in close coordination with the HM militants recently, was also wanted by the SFs for the last couple of years, the sources said. During another encounter in the Panzla forest area of Rafiabad in Baramulla District on September 23, a Marine commando, identified as Chandra Shekhar, and an unidentified holed up militant were killed in the exchange of firing.
