The State Government has abandoned the plan to set up an elite anti-terrorism unit in the State, five months after the formation of the squad was announced, a Police official said on January 3, according to Times of India. The Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) has been disbanded even before it was formally launched, the official said. "The ATS never came into existence formally and whatever existence it had on paper too has been dismantled," the Police officer told IANS. The decision to form the ATS of the Jammu and Kashmir Police was taken in a cabinet meeting July 14, 2009. As the Special Operation Group (SOG) of the State Police normally conducts anti-terror operations, including intelligence gathering, “it was felt that there was no need for having a parallel set-up to SOG," the official said.

Pakistan Army is reported to have set a vast portion of grass on fire on its side opposite Balakote sector in Mendhar tehsil (reenue unit) of Poonch District in the night of January 6 with a view to divert attention of SFs on this side. The fire spread into Indian territory in the morning of January 7 leading to a series of mine explosions on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC). Official sources said there was no immediate threat to civilian population on Indian side as the fire was still across fencing but added that it was spreading very fast as there was a huge growth of ‘sarkanda’ and grass on either side of the LoC. There were specific inputs that fire, which spread from Pakistan Army’s posts of Kandli and Khara opposite Balakote sector, was a deliberate act of the Pakistan Army to keep LoC active for some days as there was no way to control the flames.

Defence Minister A. K. Antony announced that para-military Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) will takeover security of Jammu-Srinagar National Highway from the Army from January 15, reports Daily Excelsior. Antony said an instruction to this effect has been passed on by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on the request of Ministry of Defence. Antony also said that a request had also been sent to the MHA to issue instruction to discontinue the use of combat uniform by all Central Police Organisations and State Police. He said the hard work put in by security agencies and the people had brought down the level of violence considerably in the State though attempts at infiltration had increased. He added that the year 2010 might be a crucial one as forces inimical to stability and peace in Jammu and Kashmir would make all out efforts to neutralise the gains of past two years. "The incidents in the first week of January in the Valley are indicative of the shape of things to come," the Minister said. Further, Antony asked for ‘intensive operations’ against militants and stepping up of vigilance on the Line of Control to ensure that development process in Jammu and Kashmir does not fall prey to militant activities. The Army informed the Minister about the ongoing operations against militants. They referred to the encounter in a village in Pulwama District in which one militant was killed. Reports said another militant who was besieged had actually managed to escape. Reports from Jammu suggested that a senior Army officer in the unified headquarters meeting told the Defence Minister that “Pakistan is up to something big” and “we need to know what it is”.
