According to State Police, around 190 incidents were reported in 2011, the lowest in last 22 years of militancy in the State. “As a result of our combined efforts, there has been discernible improvement in the situation. The militancy related incidents continue to show a dwindling graph and were lowest-ever during last 22 years of militancy,” Director General of Police (DGP) Kuldeep Khoda said. Terrorist violence in 2011 dropped to an all time low of around 190 incidents as compared to 368 cases in 2010, the DGP said. The year 2011 witnessed a sharp drop of 47 per cent in terrorist violence cases as compared to 2010. Jammu witnessed 74 per cent drop whereas Kashmir witnessed 33 per cent drop in terrorist violence as compared to last year. 37 militancy incidents were reported in Jammu this year, while Kashmir witnessed 152, he said. As many as 159 people, including 99 terrorists, were killed this year as compared to 323 last year in the state during the same period showing a dip in killings by over 55 percent, as per the statistics compiled by the State Home Ministry. Against 41 civilians killed last year, as many as 28 died this year during the same period. Similarly, against 66 security force personnel killed in 2010, only 31 died this year. This year 99 militants were killed, while 217 were killed last year, the DGP said. As per the statistics, 13 Districts of Jammu and Kashmir have reported militancy incidents in a single digit, while three Districts have recorded no militancy cases. Budgam witnessed only three militancy incidents followed by four in Kulgam, five in Anantnag, eight each in Shopian, Ganderbal and Bandipora, thus a total of 36 incidents were reported in six Districts of Kashmir. While in Jammu, eight militancy cases were recorded in Kishtwar, five in Ramban, six in Doda, four in Poonch, two in Rajouri and one each in Jammu and Udhampur Districts. No militancy incidents were witnessed in Reasi, border Districts of Samba and Kathua in Jammu region, he said. General Officer Commanding (GOC) of Nagrota-based 16th corps, Lieutenant General A S Nandal, on December 31 said there has been a decline in infiltration attempts into India as compared to the previous years, according to ANI. "Overall, there has been a decrease in infiltration attempts and there has also been a downfall in the militant related incidents. Overall there has been a huge difference as compared to previous years," he said. IBN Live reports that the Ramban District is speedily moving towards "zero militancy" as only four militants of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) are currently active in the area. "There are only four militants of HM outfit operating in Ramban District," Superintendent of Police Anil Mangotra said. "These surviving militants are hiding somewhere in the upper reaches, and the police and army are trying hard to locate and eliminate them," he added. Five top militants including two top HM and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) ‘commanders’ were killed in Ramban in 2011, giving a big jolt to militancy in the District, he said. Bordered by thick forested belts of Doda, Anantnag, Udhampur and Reasi Districts, Ramban has seen more than 400 militants of different outfits including HM, LeT, JeM, HuJI, HuM and HMPPR operating in the District till 2000, he said. Earlier, on December 30, the General Officer Commanding of XV Corps, Lieutenant General Syed Atta Hasnain said that militant outfits are still active across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, reports ANI. General Hasnain said that it was impossible to control the infiltration completely. "Even now I think that infiltration is taking place and I have been telling this all the times despite deployment of a soldier at every place, zero-infiltration would be impossible. Infiltration will take place till the people from the other side continue to set up related infrastructures for infiltration," said Hasnain.

The Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is raising a group of 21 female terrorists at its training camps in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) for carrying out sabotage activities in India, Army sources said on January 3, according to Times of India. "We have confirmed reports that LeT is imparting training to 21 selected female terrorists at its training facilities in Muzaffarabad in PoK for carrying out terrorist activities in India," an unnamed Army official said in New Delhi. Army said the new group, named as Dukhtareen-e-Toiba, is planned to be made active in the Kashmir Valley by the LeT. The women terrorists are planned to be infiltrated into India through routes in Uri sector or using the aerial route through some other country. DNA quoted sources as saying, "Inputs reveal that 21 girls are being trained by LeT at Divalia, Muzzafarabad, under the name of Dukhtaran-e-Toiba." The group, after training, have been placed under the command of an LeT ‘commander’, Sayeed Sadaqat Hussain, for future deployment in Kashmir, the sources added. Intercepts indicate that the new front is being activated since the earlier formation of women Dukhtaran-e-Millat (DeM) led by Asiya Andrabi has not been successful in mobilising people as it had in the past, adds The Hindu. According to reports, the sources said, the effort is to try and infiltrate these trained cadres into India either through the Uri sector or even Nepal. Another training camp, according to other information, is located at Turbeladem in PoK in which over 400 terrorists in various groups are being trained and that the facility is being commanded by a senior officer of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). The sources said the ISI asked the LeT and other terror groups to carry out attacks against the Indian troops deployed on the Line of Control (LoC). These groups, the reports said, carried out reconnaissance in areas on the other side of the LoC facing the Indian forward defence locations.

Bandipora Police on January 4 neutralized two militant modules, one each of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), who were planning the target killings in the District. Superintendent of Police (Bandipora) Bashir Ahmed Khan said that Police arrested six youths in two separate raids from Hajin area of Sonawari in the District. They were affiliated with HM and LeT. Khan said that Police arrested a youth, identified as Fayaz Ahmed of village Hajin. He said that during the questioning Fayaz disclosed that he was working with the HM since last nine months. Khan said that on his disclosure, Police arrested two of his accomplices from Hajin. They have been identified as Zubair Ahmed Parray. Khan said that the trio confessed that they were working with the HM and were recruiting the youth into militant ranks. During the questioning they said that they were tasked to kill some influential political workers and Police personnel in the District. A matrix sheet and list of people of few political workers and police personnel were recovered from their possession, Khan added. Also, Police neutralized an LeT module, believed to be planning target killings, operating in Sonawari area and arrested three militants, identified as Zahoor Ahmed Dar, Ghulam Muhammad Bhat and Nissar Ahmed Ganie. Zahoor Ahmad Dar had visited Pakistan at the behest of LeT for computer training in May 2011. After staying in training camps for 15 days he returned back. Later, Zahoor Ahmed contacted a surrendered militant, Ghulam Mohammad Bhat, for sending across some educated youths for computer and arms training. Ghulam Mohammed motivated Nissar Ahmed Dar at the behest of Zahoor Ahmed and sent him across for computer training and was transporting money and other material for the LeT cadres. These youths were assigned the job of targeting political activists and police personnel in the District. The arrested militants had earlier threatened Panches and Sarpanches during 2011 Panchayat elections.

General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Northern Command, Lieutenant General K T Parnaik said on January 15 that nearly 2,500 militants were camping in terrorist training camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Some 300 militants were also camping in launching pads in Pakistan and PoK. "Camps in PoK and Pakistan have 2,000 to 2,500 terrorists as per our own sources. However, in launching pads (along the borderline with Pakistan) they are around 300 or so," he said. On the security situation in J&K, the Army Commander said it was good. "Violence parameters have been down in 2011. Last year was a fruitful year. We had a fair amount of peace in the state," he added. "Though there had been continued attempts to push terrorists into this side of the border yet we successfully thwarted most of them. As per the reports, there would be attempts to revive the terrorists activities in the State as such we all have to remain alert and take pre-emptive measures," he added, according to Daily Excelsior. To a question about reports of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) revitalizing woman cadre, he said, "We keep getting these inputs from the intelligence sources. Frequent reports keep coming to us through sources about whatever happens across the border so far as terrorist mechanism is concerned. There are reports that woman cadre of the LeT is being trained in Muzaffarabad area of the Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir before being pushed into this side of the border. However, this is not yet corroborated. We have not shared this report officially with the State Government and anyone else and it will require sometime to further corroborate.”

for the first time, the Pakistani Rangers accepted body of the intruder, official sources said. "Usually, the Rangers didn't accept the bodies of infiltrators killed during the firing for the fear that they would be exposed for pushing intruders/militants into this side. This time, however, the Rangers accepted the body of intruder and took it away'', sources said. They added that the intruder could be a spy of Pakistan Army or Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). "It has been observed a number of times that Pakistan tried to push a spy ahead of the group of infiltrators to observe movement of security personnel and find out the points where there was no presence of security forces and some other points from where the militants could be pushed-in'', sources said. Investigations by the Jammu and Kashmir Police have found that “officials of an intelligence agency” had provided a Chinese pistol to a surrendered militant, who later used it to kill a special police officer (SPO). Though the Police refused to disclose the name of the agency, the revelation followed the arrest of a surrendered militant in connection with the disappearance of SPO Mohammad Hanief who was found murdered in Kishtwar District on December 10, 2011. Hanief was working with the Special Operation Group in Doda. Kishtwar Deputy Superintendent of Police (Headquarters), Abrar Chowdhary said the Police arrested former Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant Nafees Khandey. His two accomplices in the crime — Shahnawaz alias Bilal Ahmed Khander and Mohammad Rafiq — have already fled and rejoined militant ranks, according to the police. Nafees was also planning to rejoin the militant outfit at the time of his arrest, Chowdhary said, adding the Police seized a number of incriminating documents from him.
