External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar on September 1 said that The Union government is planning to reduce the number of troops in Jammu and Kashmir, sent in the past month to deal with the aftermath of the Article 370 decision, reports The Hindu. EAM held meetings in Brussels where European Union officials raised concerns over human rights restrictions in the State, ahead of a European Parliament meeting on the situation in Kashmir on September 2. “I would suggest to you that in the coming days you will see an easing up progressively,” EAM was quoted as having said in an interview to the news website Politico Europe. He added that there would be a reduction in the roughly 30,000 extra security forces deployed in Jammu and Kashmir since August 2. Defending the communication restrictions in the Kashmir Valley in particular, the Minister said they were enforced to stop “people who are doing violence to contact each other”. “How do I cut off communications between the terrorists and their masters on the one hand, but keep the Internet open for other people? I would be delighted to know,” he said in reply to questions about the Internet and mobile telephone suspension. Mr. Jaishankar denied reports of medicine and food shortages.

Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar, said that Pakistan openly practices terrorism and there is no scope for negotiations until Islamabad stops financing and recruitment of militant groups, reports Indian Express on September 2. Responding to the situation in Kashmir, the minister said the security restrictions across the Valley would be eased in the “coming days”. He said the internet and telephone outages were needed to stop the activation of “terrorist assets” and to prevent “people who are doing violence to contact each other”. Talking about India’s relations with United States (US) President Donald Trump, Jaishankar broached the challenges posed by a potential tariff war, India’s interest in resuming purchases of Iranian oil and US reservations about India’s acquisition of S-400 surface-to-air missiles. On arms’ purchases from Russia, Jaishankar said he was not going to be deterred from a “solid, time-tested” relationship with Moscow.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on September 2 said that there has been total peace in Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution of India, reports Daily Excelsior. “Not a single bullet or tear gas has been fired and not a single person has died in Kashmir after abrogation of Article 370. Today, questions are being raised about the law and order of Kashmir. I would like to tell the entire country and the world that Kashmir is entirely peaceful,” Amit Shah said. Maintaining that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, abrogation of Articles 370 and 35-A has led to complete integration of Jammu and Kashmir with India, the Home Minister said this decision would lead to development in the region. “This will also sound death knell for terrorism,” Shah said.

Director General of Police Dilbagh Singh on September 4 said that militants in Jammu and Kashmir are threatening people and stopping them from opening shops, reports The Hindu. He added that it was upto the people to open their shops and the authorities could not force anyone.“The militants killed one shopkeeper on the plea that he had opened his shop .... how can you stop them from doing their work? That kind of dictates are coming in the form of posters from militants, they are going on harassing and threatening people; we are trying to counter their threats, therefore, we are not trying to put any pressure on the people unnecessarily,” Singh added.“There is no civil curfew, some Pakistan sponsored elements are trying to scare people but we are taking action against them. In the beginning the militants threatened petrol pump operators....then they started harassing people in the orchards. People have resisted and retaliated these attempts.... this happened in South Kashmir — the fruit growers asked the militants will they give them food if they sit at home?” He also admitted, “Barring one or two law and order incidents initially where bigger violence was involved, such incidents on a small scale are taking place on a daily basis with no serious violent element anywhere”.Singh said one militant was arrested in Baramulla and a couple of over ground workers were arrested for harassing people. “Action will continue against the militants.... we have chased and pushed them out, we are trying to keep them at bay,” he added.

Army Chief Bipin Rawat stated that Army was ready for a limited war or Border Action Team (BAT) actions, reports Daily Excelsior on September 7. He stated that ‘’ I’m ready for whatever Pakistan wants. If it wants a BAT action, I am ready.

Militants are resorting to killing civilians and threatening them to instill fear amongst them. An Intelligence officer stated that Separatists were expecting a violent public outrage against the abrogation of Article 370 and the complete integration of the state with the rest of the country. They also believed that their would-be civilian casualties in clashes with the security forces. Nothing like that happened although there has been a general strike in the valley since August 5. Despite all the preventive measures taken by us to ensure that public life and property are protected, the credit for ensuring peace goes to the common man in Kashmir who has refused to play into the hands of the separatists.

Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Director General of Police (DGP), Dilbag Singh, on September 11 said that during past one month there has not been any serious law and order engagement in Kashmir, reports Daily Excelsior. “Despite a number of law and order incidents of violence reported in the State, there was hardly any serious law and order engagement. Till yesterday, 184 of law and order engagements were there, of which not more than half a dozen of were such a nature where a little higher level of violence was seen in terms of stone pelting by the civilians. We have also tried to exercise a lot of restraint and that’s why the casualties on the civilian side have been absolutely nil, barring an incident wherein a stone pelter got injured in downtown and subsequently succumbed to his injuries. On the contrary we had incidents where the stone pelters caused injuries to the civilians and also a civilian death in Bijbehara [Anantnag District] wherein a truck driver got injured in stone pelting and subsequently died”, he said. “During this period, we had militancy related incidents. Three persons were killed by the militants, two in Tral [Pulwama District] area-the Gujjar brothers who were somewhere in the Tral heights, taking care of their cattles, militants kidnapped them and killed both of them. Other than that, a shopkeeper in the city area of Parimpora [Srinagar District] was killed for not abiding the dictates by the militants. During this period, two militants have also been neutralized. Earlier, one was killed at Baramulla down town, and today in another incident one more has been killed”, he said. Singh said that the State is near to normalcy as the clampdown imposed last month is gradually being withdrawn. “We are very close to the normalcy, and if you take the case, all the 10 districts of Jammu are normal, all the colleges and schools are functioning normally, all the offices are open and people are carrying on with their routine work. I have been to Leh and Kargil, it is all normal over there. There are no restrictions whatsoever in that area. In this region [Kashmir Valley] as well, we have tried to ease out the restrictions. As of now, there is 90 per cent of area which is free of restrictions. Telephone exchanges have been made functional 100 per cent. There are two districts where the mobile phones are also working now”, he said.

Security Forces (SFs) on September 11 killed a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant in the Sopore area of Baramulla District in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), reports Daily Excelsior. Director General of Police (DGP), Dilbag Singh, said that on specific information, the Police and SFs established a picket near Sopore town. “As this militant Asif Maqbool Bhat came, he was challenged to stop but he did not. He threw a grenade on our party in which couple of our police personnel were injured. In the encounter that ensued, the militant was neutralized”, he said. Singh said that Bhat was involved in the shooting of four people in Sopore area including a baby. “He was the same militant who had gone to the house of Haji Habbibullah, fired at his family members, injuring four of them including a little girl. He is the same militant who along with his other fellows went to a house where a migrant labourer was working, shot at him an injured him. His name was Shafi Alam, the boy was seriously injured and was brought to Srinagar, and I am told that he is stable”, he said. The DGP said that the militant along with his two associates were involved in the terrorizing people in the area. “…he had created a lot of terror in the area of Sopore. Over the last month, he was very active. He was responsible for making use of OGWs [Over Ground Workers] to print and publish posters, threatening people not to do the fruit business, not to go for trading, not to open shops, not to go for normal day to day activities and we were watching these activities and we were after these people who were involved in this. And eight people who were involved in these kind of activities were apprehended by Sopore police along with computers and other instruments that they were using for printing those posters. This fellow (the militant), along with two others-Mudasir and Sajad-, three of them created terror in that area, roaming around the villages, threatening people not to go for their daily chores. So we were following him, tracking”, he said. “…There have been incidents of physically manhandling of one or two fellows, telling them not to go for fruit tacking and fruit collection, but on our side the police is active, we are chasing them everywhere and we are hopeful that we will be able to neutralize such threats in south Kashmir”, he said.

At least five Pakistan army personnel were killed in two separate incidents of violation of the Cease Fire Agreement (CFA) by Pakistan Army along the Line of Control (LoC) in twin border Districts of Poonch and Rajouri of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), reports Daily Excelsior on September 15. Troops of the Pakistani Army reached the Hajipur sector in J&K and retrieved their dead personnel after showing a white flag on September 11. Lt Gen Ranbir Singh said: “By our calibrated proactive approach, we have been able to attain complete moral ascendancy over the enemy (Pakistan). All infiltration attempts along the LoC have been foiled”. Students of nearly half a dozen schools were trapped in heavy shelling and firing by the Pakistani troops in Mendhar and Balakote sectors of Poonch District and had to be rescued by the Army in their bullet-proof bunkers. Students and civilians had narrow escape in Pakistan shelling in which nearly a dozen houses were damaged and some cattle perished but there were no civilian casualties. According to reports, three more Pakistan army personnel were reported to have been killed across Mendhar, Balakote and Poonch sectors in retaliatory firing and shelling by the Indian Army. “The Pakistani troopers were killed when their two forward posts caught fire in the Indian retaliatory firing. The Indian action was necessitated as Pakistani posts were directly targeting civilian locations in Mendhar and Balakote posing threat to innocent lives including school children,” they said, adding that shelling and firing from Pakistan side stopped after their forward posts were destroyed. Intense shelling was reported from forward villages of Drana, Malikpur, Chajla, Padri, Sandot, Langiot, Behrot, Panjani, Suhala, Darhuti, Dhar Galloon, Dulat and surrounding villages with people, who had gone for work in the fields and other areas. The shelling stopped after fierce and very effective reply by the Indian troops in which two communication towers and three posts of Pakistan army were destroyed. At least seven to eight Pakistan army personnel have been injured in the Indian action.

Dormant routes have been used by the Pakistani Army to infiltrate nearly 60 terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) since the scrapping of J&K’s special status on August 5, 2019, officials told PTI on September 17, reports NDTV. This assessment comes amid intelligence inputs that there has been a surge in infiltration from across the border through higher reaches of North Kashmir and Poonch and Rajouri Districts of the Jammu Division, they said. During a recent meeting to ascertain the number of successful and unsuccessful infiltration attempts along the Line of Control (LoC), an Army representative was presented with a host of evidence collected by various agencies about infiltration by terrorists from higher reaches of Gurez, Machil and Gulmarg sectors of the Kashmir Division, and Poonch and Rajouri areas in Jammu Division, the officials said. The higher reaches of Gulmarg was used in early 1990s for infiltration into central Kashmir. In 2014, the Army was caught by surprise when a terrorist Naveed, arrested after a suicide bid on a Border Security Force (BSF) vehicle at Udhampur, told interrogators that they had crossed over from ''Ustad Post'' in higher reaches of Gulmarg and reached the Kashmir valley. However, now it seems that the same route has been used to enter the Valley, the officials said, adding some of these terrorists had been sighted in various parts of Budgam and Pulwama Districts in South Kashmir. The officials said a group of terrorists shifted to Baba Reshi area before moving via Pakherpora to highly-volatile Pulwama District, where they have set up their permanent base. Another group has moved into the central district of Budgam, the officials said. They also said a group infiltrated from Gurez, Machil, Tangdhar sectors under the cover of heavy artillery firing. Another cause of worry for the security agencies is an axis along the Poonch area in Jammu Division from where small groups have managed to sneak in and reach Shopian (Shopian District) in South Kashmir. They could have possibly used Hill Kaka route to enter into Shopian, the officials said.

He said the polling will be held from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm while the counting of votes will begin at 3.00 pm the same day. The notification for the election will be issued on October 1 (today) while October 9 will be the last date for filing of nominations.
