Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir continued counter-terrorism operations in the Pir Panjal range following intelligence reports of militant activity in the mountainous region.
The Pir Panjal separates the Kashmir Valley from Jammu and has historically provided cover for infiltration routes and hideouts. Joint teams of army, paramilitary, and police units conducted searches across difficult terrain where dense forest and ridgelines complicate surveillance.
Recent intelligence prompted escalated patrols and cordon-and-search actions aimed at intercepting armed groups before they reach populated areas. Operations in this belt often span days as forces establish perimeter controls and comb ridgelines for caches and camps.
Kashmir’s security environment remains sensitive despite a decline in large-scale urban attacks compared with earlier decades. Continued activity in the Pir Panjal underscores the military’s focus on border-adjacent zones where militants attempt to regroup after winter snows recede.
Intelligence inputs prompted intensified sweeps in the Pir Panjal range separating the Kashmir Valley from Jammu division. Army and police units coordinated searches across forested ridgelines where militants have historically used rugged terrain to evade detection after infiltration.
Counter-terrorism grids in Jammu and Kashmir intensify operations when spring snowmelt opens mountain passes in the Pir Panjal. Security forces act on intelligence indicating militant movement toward populated valleys after winter lull periods.
