Only 137 active terrorists are reportedly active in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), with foreign terrorists (90) outnumbering local terrorists (47), according to a security review meeting held in J&K cited by the Times of India on April 14. Local recruitment has declined, and several local terrorists have been eliminated over time, leading to a decrease in local terrorist activity. However, the count of active foreign terrorists - largely cadres of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is higher as they may be using newer ways to escape technical surveillance and may have found safer hideouts. While only three infiltration bids from Pakistan were reported in 2023, all of which were foiled, the meeting discussed keeping the border security grid tight and deployment of anti-drone machines to tackle drone activity along the border in Jammu District.
