In a number that will make every Indian proud, it has been revealed that the security forces have managed to kill 101 militants in counter-terror operations in the first five months of the year. The forces acted on intelligence inputs provided by their informants on the ground to hunt down these terrorists.
In the first five months of the last two years, security forces had managed to kill 70 and 57 militants.
It was in Pulwama, Shopian, Kulgam and Anantnag region of Kashmir that the majority of the actions took place.
“This year, the pace of operations has increased, especially in the hinterland areas, compared to previous years. The situation has improved in the areas which were considered hotbeds of militancy,’’ said a senior police officer requesting anonymity, as reported by a national media.
“An average of 20 militants have been killed in each month so far. This includes 25 foreign terrorists and 76 locals, belonging to Jaish-e-Mohammad, Lashkar-e- Toiba, Hizbul Mujahideen and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind,’’ a J&K police spokesman said.
