Five persons, including three front ranking terrorists, an Army Captain and a young girl, were killed while four others, including three members of a family, were injured in an encounter in Kalali Morha, Surankote area of Poonch district, on December 31. Official sources said a group of terrorists with automatic weapons and grenades attacked an Army patrol in Kalali Morha and later escaped.

In a major terrorist strike on a civilian locality in Rajiv Nagar in Jammu, on July 13, unidentified terrorists killed approximately 25 persons including 12 women and a child and injured 35 others and later escaped from the incident site. The terrorist attack, which came nine days before the commencement of the annual Amarnath pilgrimage was targeted against civilians of Rajiv Nagar near Qasim Nagar, primarily inhabited by labourers. According to a media report, this was the first terrorist incident of its kind on the peripheries of the city. Security forces (SFs) later carried out a search operation in Sidhra, a possible escape route of the terrorists, who numbered between three to five. However, no arrests have been made thus far in connection with the massacre. Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Jammu-Kathua range, Dilbagh Singh, later said that at least four to five terrorists, all of whom were reportedly wearing dresses of Sadhus (pilgrims), descended on Rajiv Nagar after trekking through two hills of Bhatindi parallel to two towers. The terrorists, equipped with AK rifles and grenades, first made the devotees, who were offering prayers inside a temple, their target. They lobbed grenades on the temple and resorted to indiscriminate firing. All the victims were reportedly slum dwellers of Rajiv Nagar and many of them were labourers from the States of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. This was third major terrorist incident in Jammu and outskirts during the last three and a half months. On March 30, two fidayeens (suicide terrorists) had struck near the Ragunath temple killing 11 civilians. As reported earlier, the suicide terrorists were killed within 10 minutes of the attack. On May 14, three fidayeens stormed inside the family quarters of SFs at Kaluchak killing 32 persons and injuring several others. All the three fidayeen in this incident were also killed.

Four left-wing extremists, Naxalites of the People’s War Group (PWG), including a woman cadre, were killed in an encounter at Narella village, Karimnagar district on July 2. The slain Naxalites were identified as Karminagar district committee secretary and North Telangana Special Zone (NTSZ) committee member Padmakka alias N Rajitha, her personal security guard Manasa, Karimnagar district Action Team commander Sagar and People's Guerrilla Army (PGA) platoon member Vikram. 32 year-old Padmakka, is also the wife of PW Central Committee member Sande Rajamouli alias Prasad, and carried a reward of Rs 5 lakh on her head. Sagar carried Rs 2 lakh reward on his head. Police sources said there was information about the movements of 9th platoon of PGA in Nerella, Kalleda, Rayakal, Rachepalli and Habsipur villages and that they were collecting "donations" from contractors and businessman. To check the movements of the Naxalites, a police team was sent to Nerella village. During the course of a Gramsabha (village assembly), police were informed about the presence of the Naxalites atop a hillock abutting the village. The police reached the spot and caught the PW squad unawares leading to exchange of fire for over 30 minutes. After the firing stopped, police searched the place and found the bodies of the four Naxalites. Approximately, five to six Naxalites were suspected to have fled the scene. The police also seized an AK-47 rifle, an SLR and two 303 rifles from the encounter site. Speaking to the media, a senior police official said the PWG Naxalites were collecting donations from contractors and businessmen ever since the talks began. During the last one and half months, this particular squad alone collected funds to the tune of Rs 2 crore, he claimed. The encounter has cast a shadow on the possibility of direct talks between the PWG and the government, as it took place just a day after the PWG announced that it might "reconsider its stand on talks if the government failed to create conducive atmosphere".
