A senior Police officer, expressing concern about the recent stone pelting incidents in the areas that were not affected by 2010 unrest, said that one of the major concerns is that large number of tourist vehicles were damaged and tourists beaten up by stone pelters in Narbal and Mazhama (in Badgam District) and Kunzar areas (Baramulla District) along the Srinagar (Srinagar District) - Gulmarg (Baramulla District) road.

He said, "Most of the recent attacks, including the killing of eight Army personnel in Hyderpora (Srinagar District) on Monday (June 24) and the killing of two J&K policemen, were in the Hizb [HM] stronghold that is also the native place of the outfit's chief, Syed Salahuddin."

Deccan Herald reports that the Jammu and Kashmir Government has cleared the cases of more than 300 militants who want to return from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) under state government’s ‘surrender-cum-rehabilitation policy’.The report said that a high powered panel has recommended return of more than 300 youth who crossed the Line of Control (LoC) for arms training during the last two decades but want to return and “live a dignified life”. “The panel headed by State Home Secretary Suresh Kumar and comprising top officials of police and intelligence agencies cleared the cases. However, nobody from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) was present in the meeting,” they said, adding that the Ministry had given its nod for holding the meeting in the absence of its representative. Joint Secretary (Kashmir, MHA) is one of the members of the panel. Suresh Kumar confirmed that they have cleared many cases but refused to reveal the precise number. Those militants who had gone to PoK and Pakistan between January 1, 1989, and December 31, 2009, and their dependents are eligible for consideration under the policy. Till the end of 2012, the Kashmir Government had received more than 1100 applications from former militants in PoK for their return under the policy.

Security and Intelligence agencies on July 11 revealed that Lashkar-e-Toiba’s (LeT) Border Action Team (BAT), which has been revived by the militant outfit sometime back, was most likely responsible for planting Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and landmines in Kanga Gali area near the Line of Control (LoC) in Sawjian sector of Poonch District on July 8 in which one civilian porter was killed and five persons, including three porters and two Army soldiers, were injured, reports Daily Excelsior. Army sources said, “It hardly matters for us whether the BAT has been revived or not. We are maintaining a high alert on the LoC. Whether the IEDs or mine are planted by the LeT or any other outfit or the BAT, we are committed to thwart their plot.” Meanwhile, Army's Northern Command Headquarters has floated tenders for the purchase of six Border Surveillance Management Systems (BSMS) for deployment in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), reports Kashmir Times. "A surveillance system is required which can cater to Indian Army's peacetime requirements, both during day and night," said the Request for Proposal (RFP) document released by Northern Command's First Field Ordnance Depot. The move comes in the light of increased attempts at infiltration across the LoC in J&K in recent months.

Indian intelligence officials have submitted a report to the Home Ministry stating the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) is increasing pressure on the Nawaz Sharif Government to act on Kashmir, reported Zee News, on August 8. The ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) by the Pakistani Army troops have seen a sharp rise ever since Nawaz Sharif returned as the Prime Minister (PM) on June 5. The Pakistani PM has reportedly cleared a new Kashmir strategy and set up a Kashmir Cell in his office. The purpose of the cell is to keep track of developments on Kashmir.

The Al Badr, one of the most dreaded militant groups whose cadres fought Afghan war against Soviet troops alongside Gulabadeen Hikmatyar’s Hizb-e-Islami (HeI), are making attempts to infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), reported Daily Excelsior on September 21. Sources said that for the past one month Al Badar militants are conducting reconnaissance along the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) to infiltrate through North Kashmir’s Uri Sector of Baramula District and Kupwara Sector of Kupwara District. Sources said that their cadres are already on launch pads across the LoC in PoK and are planning to infiltrate before the onset of winter in Kashmir. “The tight vigil by the Army along the LoC is preventing them from infiltrating into the Valley. Its cadres are battle hardened and are waiting for opportunity to sneak in. However, so far they have not made any attempt to infiltrate”, sources added.

A report submitted to the Government has said that banned terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) was behind the attack in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) on September 26, in which 13 persons were killed, reported NDTV on September 27. Al-Shahada (the Martyrs) group has claimed the responsibility for the attack, but security agencies say they aren't taking the claim seriously. "We aren't attaching little credence to the claim," said an unnamed senior official. Security agencies are basing their claim on the information given by Roshan Lal Sharma, a driver who was forced to commandeer the tempo-truck used by the terrorists to enter Hiranagar Police Station in Kathua District. The driver has reportedly told the investigators that the terrorists were speaking in Urdu-laced Punjabi. "We know for a fact that majority LeT cadres are from Punjab region," said an official. The officials say that the modus operandi of the attack also points to the involvement of the LeT, which carried out two similar attacks in 2008. Moreover, security agencies have also reasoned that the Lashkar has, in the past tried, to disrupt National Highway-1, which connects the Kashmir valley to Jammu and is therefore one of the most crucial road links. "It fits into a pattern that we have seen earlier. Also, weapons recovered from the killed militants - three AK-47 rifles, one pistol, eight grenades and 12 magazines - have the traditional trade mark of the LeT," a senior official said. The LeT is known to carry out spectacular attacks with meticulous training, planning and minimal weapons.

Stone-pelting is back in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), compared to 2012, in 2013, there has been almost a six-fold increase in the number of times protesters resorted to stone-pelting on Security Forces (SFs), reports Indian Express on October 13. According to data collected by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), the central Police Force deployed across the state till September has already witnessed 318 such incidents compared to 55 in 2012. The number of SFs injured in such incidents has increased more than three times. "In 2012, the number of CRPF personnel injured in stone-pelting incidents was 203 but this year, already 628 personnel have received injuries. The crowd here is again resorting to stone-pelting, which witnessed a downward trend in the last three years," said D K Pathak, Special Director General (DG), J&K, and CRPF. During these protests, more than 250 bulletproof vehicles have been damaged. Senior security officials explained this year; there was an increase in these incidents after Parliament House attack convict Afzal Guru was hanged in Delhi in February 9. Later, the crowd took to the streets and started attacking SFs after the Ramban incident on July 18, 2013, where four persons were killed in firing by Border Security Force (BSF) and local Police Personnel.

Moreover, Pakistani troops have violated the ceasefire along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) eight times in the last four days and intelligence reports warn that there will be more such incidents as terrorists make more attempts to infiltrate the border over the next month, reported NDTV on October 17. A comprehensive intelligence assessment states that over 700 well-trained and heavily-armed terrorists, mostly from the LeT and the JeM are waiting at various launch pads on the Pakistani side close to the LoC. As is wont, Pakistani forces stationed at the border are expected to open frequent fire to provide cover to the terrorists as they attempt to cross over into India. The intelligence report says only a strong counter-infiltration and counter-terrorist grid in place across J&K has prevented increased attacks in the interiors of the state. Intelligence agencies have also shared details of some of the major camps across the border that house and train terrorists. The report says that there are about 450 to 500 terrorists waiting north of the Pir Panjal range of mountains to attempt crossing over into the Kashmir valley in camps in Sonar/Sardar, right opposite Machil/Gurez on the Indian side, in Kel opposite Machil, the Neelam Valley opposite Keran and in the Lipa Valley opposite India's Tangdhar. The report says about 150 to 200 more terrorists are at camps south of the Pir Panjal range in the area that faces India's Jammu division, opposite areas like Poonch and Krishna Ghati.

Infiltration attempts in Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) in 2013 have breached the levels witnessed during the last couple of years, with 254 instances being recorded until September 30 as against 233 during the corresponding period of last year and 247 during 2011, reported The Times of India on October 21. Incidentally, though the infiltration attempts facilitated by higher ceasefire violations that now stand at 200 in 2013 as compared to 117 in 2012 have been on the rise, the Security Forces (SFs) have managed to contain the number of cases where the terrorists could successfully sneak into Indian Territory. In 133 cases, the terrorists were made to "return" to Pakistan territory, while they successfully crossed over in 84 cases. The corresponding cases of "returned" infiltrators were 130 (2012) and 159 (2011). Successful infiltration attempts were lower at 84 until September 30, as compared to 112 cases in the corresponding period of 2012 and 52 (2011). As many as 37 infiltrating terrorists were neutralized by the SFs, as against only nine in the corresponding period last year.

Army Chief, General Bikram Singh on December 30 said that terror infrastructure across the Line of Control (LoC) has the potential to vitiate the security environment in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) should not be withdrawn as it is a "strategic imperative" until the US' pullout from Afghanistan in 2014, reports Zee News. "Intelligence reports allude to the presence of over 400 terrorists in the state, who are yet to be neutralised. The terror infrastructure across the LoC is intact and has the potential to vitiate the security environment in the state. Any let up at this stage, therefore, is likely to be exploited by terrorists and other inimical elements to their advantage," Singh added. He noted that AFSPA was an enabling act which provided the requisite legal safeguards for the carrying out of effective counter-terrorist operations. "It is also a strategic imperative that we wait and watch the developments in Afghanistan post drawdown in 2014," he added. "From 1,852 terrorists that infiltrated in 2001, the number in 2013 is 90, which is owing to the efficacy of the dynamic, multi-layered counter-infiltration grid and relentless operations by Army along with the state police and Central Armed Police Forces," he said.
