The situation along the Line of Control (LOC) in Jammu and Kashmir is already tense, and recent meetings by designated terrorist groups have raised further concerns. Intelligence reports indicate that Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) planned attacks targeting the upcoming Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage, echoing past violence. However, Indian security forces are said to be prepared to counter such threats.
Another meeting, led by Mufti Abdul Rauf of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), discussed weapon smuggling into Jammu and Kashmir from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) for future attacks. Rauf also reportedly emphasized targeting informants and launching suicide attacks against security forces.
This comes despite Pakistan’s ongoing counter-terrorism operation, “Azm-e-Istehkam,” launched in June. The operation, aimed at maintaining stability, targets the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), both of which have challenged Pakistani authorities.
The situation in Jammu and Kashmir remains precarious. With heightened security measures and continued vigilance, Indian authorities aim to ensure a safe pilgrimage and prevent further violence.
