Officials feel that there is an urgent need for heightened surveillance to counter foreign terrorists, especially in the Jammu region.<br \/>\nThe region, previously known for its peaceful atmosphere, has recently seen a surge in terror incidents, particularly in border districts such as Poonch, Rajouri, Doda and Reasi. Attacks on an IAF convoy, a pilgrim bus and the recent killing of soldiers in Kathua highlight the evolving threat.<br \/>\nUnder the \u201cconservation and consolidation\u201d tactics, terrorists infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir but remain quiet initially, blend in with the local population and wait for instructions from handlers in Pakistan before carrying out attacks, the officials said.<br \/>\nThough security agencies are on high alert in Jammu and Kashmir after uncovering the \u201cconservation and consolidation\u201d tactic of the infiltrating terrorists, the absence of on-ground intelligence is playing a spoilsport for operations.<br \/>\nOne official explained that technical intelligence has not been that fruitful as the terrorists leave signatures on the Internet only to confuse the security agencies.<br \/>\nDescribing this as a significant shift in terrorist activities, officials emphasise the urgent need for heightened surveillance to prevent foreign mercenaries from carrying out their malicious intentions.<br \/>\nThe April 26 encounter in Sopore, in which the foreign terrorists involved had been hiding for 18 months, serves as a stark reminder of the \u201cconservation and consolidation\u201d tactic. Evidence showed their connections with terror groups across Kashmir and their use of sophisticated weaponry.<br \/>\nSimilar operations in June further dismantled hidden networks, exposed terrorists\u2019 plans and capabilities, and also threw light on a previously unseen high level of infiltration from across the border.<br \/>\nWhile two terrorists belonging to Rawalakot in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir were killed on April 26, dreaded Pakistani terrorist Usman Langda is said to have been killed in the June 19 encounter at Hadipora of Sopore.<br \/>\nThe decline in HUMINT, coupled with the use of encrypted communication tools like \u201cUltra Set\u201d phones by terrorists, makes tracking them difficult. Security agencies are urging heightened surveillance and public vigilance to counter this hidden threat.<br \/>\nWhile the terrorists\u2019 capabilities may have diminished, their intent remains a constant threat, a senior police official said.<br \/>\nOfficials have highlighted the challenge posed by the use of encrypted messaging apps for radicalising and recruiting youths, and planning attacks. They have emphasised public vigilance in monitoring suspicious communication, especially among the youths, to safeguard the community.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19910\"
