NEW DELHI: On Tuesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah emphasised the need to eradicate the terror ecosystem entirely and gave officials orders to bolster counter terrorism efforts in Jammu and Kashmir. In addition to recommending security agencies' appropriate deployment in Jammu and Kashmir's high-risk areas, Shah emphasised that all necessary protocols should be followed when carrying out counterterrorism operations. An official spokesperson said that the directives were issued during a high-level meeting that took place at the North Block in this city and during which the home minister examined the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir. The meeting was attended by top intelligence and security agency officials, Chief of Army Staff General Manoj Pande, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, and Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Manoj Sinha.In order to eradicate the threat of terrorism, Shah reviewed the security agencies' area domination plan for Jammu and Kashmir during the meeting. He directed officials to bolster counterterrorism operations and emphasised the necessity of totally eliminating the terror ecosystem while examining the security grid's operation and the state of general security in Jammu and Kashmir. According to the spokesperson, the home minister also gave the security agencies advice on how best to deploy personnel in high-risk areas. He said that the government will continue to take a zero-tolerance stance against terrorism under the direction of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Two weeks had passed since terrorists ambushed five soldiers in the Poonch district, killing them. Outrage erupted when three civilians, ages 27 to 42, who had allegedly been picked up by the Army for questioning, were discovered dead the day following the terror attack on December 21. Following these incidents, Poonch was visited by Army Chief of Staff Pande and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. The Jammu and Kashmir government had previously declared that legal action had been started and that compensation and jobs would be given to the families of the civilians who had died. During the review meeting, the home minister expressed gratitude to the Union Territory administration and security agencies for their efforts in reducing terror-related incidents, improving law and order, and preventing infiltration. Jammu and Kashmir has seen sporadic violence since the start of 2023. 54 people, including 28 terrorists and 19 security personnel, were killed in a series of encounters that occurred in the Jammu and Kashmir districts of Rajouri, Poonch, and Reasi last year, according to officials. The increase in violence has been attributed by the authorities to "desperate attempts from across the border" to resurrect terrorism in the area. In the Poonch district, there were 15 terrorists and five security personnel slain, while 31 people—ten terrorists and fourteen security personnel—were killed in Rajouri. In the district of Reasi, three terrorists were killed. [caption id="attachment_8237" align="alignnone" width="300"] Amit Shah instructs officials to strengthen counter-terror operations in J&K…
RAJOURI: According to a defence spokesman, the Army dedicated a cutting-edge milk factory on Tuesday to the people who live in a secluded border village in the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir. The spokesman said in a statement here that the initiative carried out under operation "Sadbhavana" (goodwill) at village Pukharni highlights the Army's commitment towards empowering the locals towards self-dependency and socio-economic development. According to him, the milk factory, which was opened by local women, is a step in the right direction towards realising the potential of the area's dairy farmers and giving them a local market where they can sell their milk, lessening their reliance on the towns of Naushera and Rajouri. "Women empowerment is one of the noteworthy aspects of establishment of Pukharni milk factory wherein this establishment will provide jobs to over 20 local women."The Army wants to increase women's economic independence and social standing in order to foster a more inclusive and progressive society, in addition to being a potent tool for social transformation through their active participation in the dairy production chain, according to the spokesman. He said that in addition to economic development, the project aims to involve the Gujjar and Bakkarwal communities in the area. The Indian Army has worked with the Gujjar community to understand the complexities of dairy farming in the difficult Pukharni terrain.

Five soldiers, two of whom were captains, were also killed in action in November of last year following the Army and its special forces' anti-terror operation in Rajouri's Kalakote. Ten soldiers lost their lives in action during two separate attacks in the Rajouri-Poonch area in April and May of 2023. Between 2003 and 2021, this area had been relatively free of acts of terrorism; however, following that, encounters became more frequent. In the course of 2021 and 2022, anti-terror operations in the region resulted in the deaths of over 35 soldiers.According to sources in the security wing, Pir Panjal, which includes Rajouri district in addition to Poonch and portions of Reasi districts, has seen an increase in militancy in recent years.

NEW DELHI, Jan 2: According to a senior government official, the use of drones to smuggle weapons and drugs into Indian territory from across the border will end in the next six months because an indigenous anti-drone technology is being developed to stop all such misadventures by the anti-national elements. Up to three distinct designs of anti-drone technology are being developed by security agencies; the final product may combine any or all of the designs. "In the next six months, the threat of using drones to smuggle weapons and drugs across the border will end. Without a doubt, anti-drone technology will be installed by then, the official stated.The new technology is still undergoing trials and is nearing finalisation. For a number of years now, security agencies have faced a significant challenge due to the dropping of weapons, ammunition, and drugs from Pakistan into Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir via drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In August, the government announced that during the previous three years, 53 instances of drone smuggling of weapons and drugs from Punjab across the border had been found.The government has taken several measures to curb the threat, such as having the BSF effectively control the borders around-the-clock, monitoring, patrolling, installing nakas, and staffing observation posts along the international border. The Ministry of Home Affairs established the Anti Rogue Drone Technology Committee in March of last year, under the direction of the director general of the Border Security Force. The committee's task is to assess the technology available to combat rogue drones and certify that it is effective in combating these uncontrolled aerial vehicles. Nisith Pramanik, the Union Minister of State for Home, made this announcement.
