Three Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were injured during an exchange of fire with Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in Madhuban Police Station area in Giridih District on January 31, reports The Telegraph. A joint team of State Police and the CRPF were conducting search operations in Parasnath Hills on the outskirts of Mohanpur village, 40 kilometres from Giridih District Headquarters and 200 kilometres from State capital, Ranchi. Around 5.30am, Security Forces (SFs) spotted some CPI-Maoist cadres who opened fire as the team approached them, compelling SFs to retaliate.

Indian Army destroyed a Pakistani post on the Line of Control (LoC) in Balnoi sub sector of Poonch District while Indo-Pak troops traded heavy shelling in Uri sector of Baramulla District forcing the administration to shift dozens of families from near the LoC on February 22, reports Daily Excelsior. Sources said that Indian Army destroyed a Pakistani post opposite Balnoi sub sector in Poonch District after observing movement of suspected militants, who had been camping there with a view to infiltrate into the Indian territory. “The post was razed to ground,’’ sources said, adding that all Pakistani troopers inside the post were believed dead. However, so far, there was no official confirmation of Pakistani casualties. Normally a Pakistani post has three to four soldiers, they said.According to sources, the Indian action against Pakistani troops was necessitated as Pakistani troops could have aided infiltration attempt by the militants. Army has been maintaining high alert all along the LoC in twin border districts of Poonch and Rajouri following presence of militants across the LoC and reports that they could attempt infiltration under the cover of ceasefire violations.Meanwhile, Army and Pakistani troops traded heavy shelling in Uri sector of Baramulla District on February 22 forcing the administration to shift dozens of families from near the LoC. A senior official said that Pakistani troops suffered heavy damage in the sector as Army fired rockets and mortars in response to Pakistani ceasefire violation. He, however, said that exact estimated loss is not known. Pakistani troops targeted Army posts at Hatlanga, Churanda and Tika Post along the LoC in Uri sector of Baramulla district early on February 22. “Pakistan troops started firing at around 8:00 am which was responded strongly by the soldiers manning the LoC in the sector”, the official said. The firing from both the sides continued throughout the day during which both the sides used rockets and mortars besides firing from heavy machine guns.The terror stricken residents in the shelling hit areas remained indoors to avoid casualties. Two houses suffered minor damage in the shelling at Churanda near the LoC. The intensity of the cross-border shelling was such that villagers living near the LoC were shifted to safety by the Police and local administration. An official said that around 25 families living in Tillawari, Silikote and Balkote comprising of 120 people were shifted from their areas. He said that around 80 people have been accommodated in Higher Secondary School Uri and over 35 people have shifted to their relatives places.

We are always ready as nearly 175 militants are ready on the launching pads for infiltration. “, she said. Mishra said that all the agencies are alert and ready to counter any attack. She said that Pakistan always tries to disrupt the peace and prosperity of India and use different tactics including ceasefire violations, sniping and BAT action. “In order to disrupt the peace in the hinterland, they carry infiltration”, she said. “Ceasefire violation has always happened and we cannot deny the fact that Pakistan uses it as a strategy to carry infiltration”, the BSF IG said.

Four militants, a civilian and a Police man were killed in an encounter in Srigufwara area of Anantnag District on June 22, reports Daily Excelsior. Over three dozen persons were also injured in the clashes that broke out during the operation. When Security Forces (SFs) cordoned off Nowshera in Khiram in Srigufwara area of Anantnag District early on June 22, militants opened fire on the troops during the operation leading to an encounter. Sources said that in the initial firing, one house owner, Mohammad Yousuf Rather (50) was killed and his wife Hafeeza suffered bullet injuries. One Special Police Officer (SPO), Ashiq Hussain was also killed in the encounter and another Army man was critically injured in the initial firing by militants. The firing lasted for several hours and the security forces blasted off the residential house killing all the four militants.A Police spokesman in a statement said that, “In the encounter, all the four militants were killed who have been identified as Dawood Ahmad Sofi, Majid Manzoor Dar, Aadil Rehman Bhat and Mohammad Ashraf Itoo”. Police also said that Dawood Ahmad Sofi (33), son of Mohammad Subhan Sofi, of Zainakoot HMT Srinagar, was involved in a number of stone pelting cases in the area prior to joining the militant outfit. “He was involved in a militant attack which resulted in the death of ASI Ghulam Mohammad and HC Naseer Ahmad at Bagh-Ali-Mardan Khan in Zadibal and also in the killing of the policeman and snatching his rifle at Tengpora Batamaloo besides other militant attacks”, the spokesman said. “Majid Manzoor Dar of Talangam, Pulwama also joined the militant outfit and remained active along with Aadil Rehman Bhat of Shettipora, Bijbehara and Mohammad Ashraf Itoo of Hatigam Srigufwara, Anantnag”, the spokesman added. “Initially, Dawood was known to be affiliated with Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen (TuM) outfit. The outfit was active on social media and mostly attacked the policemen on duty at different places. The social media profiling and inputs indicate that they were inspired by ISIS [Islamic State] module”, the spokesman said. “Incriminating material and a huge quantity of ammunition were also seized from the site of the encounter”, the spokesman said.Soon after the encounter broke out hundreds of people particularly youth marched towards the encounter site, triggering massive clashes as they pelted rocks on the SFs, adds Daily Excelsior. Police and paramilitary forces fired tear smoke shells, pellets and bullets to quell the protests. At least three dozen persons were injured. One of the injured, Ubaid Ahmad, who has bullet injury in his neck is in critical condition.Clashes also erupted in HMT Zainakote in Srinagar (Srinagar District) and Pulwama (Pulwama District). Police used force to quell the protesters.The Hindu adds that the four militants who were killed in an encounter with SFs in Anantnag on June 22 were inspired only by the ideology of the Islamic State (IS), similar to the case of such persons arrested over the years in Kerala, Telangana and Uttar Pradesh and unlike a Kashmiri terrorist group, a senior Jammu and Kashmir Police officer said. Inspector-General of Police (Kashmir), S.P. Pani said they don’t have the infrastructure and logistical support that most Kashmiri terror groups have. The eight or nine men in the ‘gang’ are all former members of the Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen (TuM), a Pakistan-backed terrorist group that is part of the United Jihad Council (UJC).Mostly well-educated and belonging to urban settlements, the ‘gang’ members had carried out grenade attacks on check posts and snatched weapons from SFs in the past, the Police said. The TuM is headed by Jamil-ur-Rehman of Lajora in Pulwama District. S.P. Pani, said those killed on June 22 were part of a ‘terrorist gang’ and had been on the Police radar for almost a year. “This terrorist gang is as good as those in Hyderabad or Kerala. It is not a terrorist group as the infrastructure and hierarchy, the kind of logistical support such groups provide to their members are not there,” S. P. Pani said. Another Police official insisted there was no physical infrastructure of the IS in the Valley, and initially, the gang used the logistics provided by the TuM.
