According to officials, security agencies made a quick estimate of passports issued between 2015 and 2019, and found that out of the 40 youths from Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) in India who had gone to Pakistan or Bangladesh for studies, 28 had infiltrated back into the country as trained militants, reports Daily Excelsior on August 1. This is in addition to over 100 Kashmiri youths who travelled to Pakistan on valid visas for short durations, and have either not come back or disappeared after their return in the last three years. The number of local youths joining terror groups has fallen from 85 to 69 this year for the first six months, there is some amount of recruitment taking place for which there should be more efforts from the society and agencies to check this unfortunate trend, said Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbag Singh.
