| J-K security situation 'very fragile': Army | | | early times report
Jammu, Sept 19: Terming the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir "very fragile" as the state was passing through a sensitive stage of transformation, a top Army official today said the terror attacks on sarpanchs and civilians are a cause of worry.
General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-in-C), Northern Command, Lt Gen KT Parnaik said, "We (state) are transforming from high intensity proxy war to lower levels of violence but the situation never the less is very fragile."
He cautioned against "triggers" which could alter the situation in a short span of time.
"The security situation in the state today as general-- I would say is passing through a sensitive stage of transformation," Lt Gen KT Parnaik told reporters. Lt Gen Parnaik, who inaugurated a three-day mela organised by the army in Nowshera border belt, 130 kms from here, was replying to questions on security situation inside and border areas of the state. "Therefore, there are three things which are important-- first thing-- ability to check and prevent infiltration-- to that extent we have strengthen our deployment along LoC and we are ensuring that maximum infiltration attempts are negated," he said.
Lt Gen Parnaik further said "however, some infiltration bids do succeed and as result there is influx of some new terrorists in the state-- but they have not been able to create any perceptible violence". "The worry is that they have been targetting police, sarpanches and other civilians-- it is a cause of worry," he said adding "the need of the day is to dominate areas and not to allow resurgence of terrorism in the state that is our focus". Regarding another question about the killing of militants this year, he said that 44 militants have been killed and 24 have been arrested in 2012. The militants have been neutralised, their leadership have also been eliminated and infiltration is down, he added.
