NEW DELHI, JUNE 3
Government sleuths have reportedly gathered sensational inputs, suggesting the sudden revival of camps for batches of jihadis at Krela and other hilltops in the Nakil region of Khuiratta, bordering Jammu. These inputs also reveal that there is infiltration, though on a minor scale, from Khuiratta into Jammu sector since March this year.
According to sources in the Indian Army Headquarters, both Defence Minister, AK Antony, and Chief of Army Staff, Gen. JJ Singh, have taken due cognizance of reports made available by field intelligence units in relation to the "continuing infiltration" into Jammu and Kashmir from across the border. Even as Pakistan President, Gen. Parvez Musharraf, has, once again, demonstrated his plans against the jihadi organizations in his country, movement of J&K-bound militants and infiltrators has not remained a secret, particularly after the revival of activity of anti-India elements along the Muzafarabad-Manshera road in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Significance of this road is because of Batrasi's Jungle-Mungle area. The facilities at Jungle-Mangle area, which had fallen into disuse when training camps for militants were shifted to PoK some time back, have been refurbished. Reports from across the Line of Control (LoC) have also suggested that the situation could be disturbing in areas bordering Jammu.
According to these reports, major camps such as Harkat-ul-Mujahideen's Abdali camp at Las Danna, Bagh, the launching pads in Chhamb area, across Akhnoor in Jammu, are active again. Too many interest groups--from the power brokers in Islamabad to jihadi leaders and civil-military officers who have enjoyed access to un-audited funds, have a direct stake in the industry of violence.
Unlike the previous years when several large groups of 30 to 50 militants each were launched daily from camps located on the LoC, the new strategy of Pakistanis is to launch smaller groups of 10 to 15 persons, with intervals in between.
According to official sources, what has necessitated the government of India to call for "greater vigil" across Jammu and Kashmir is the clandestine entry into some parts of the troubled State by an unspecified number of non-State subjects--each one of them assigned with the task of preaching 'militant Islam'.
Without identifying the source of information, a highly-placed security official said that a government agency had begun examining reports in relation to the "undetected" arrival of non-State subjects into parts of Jammu and Kashmir, including Darhal, Rajouri, Kalakote, Sunderbani, Poonch and Doda sector in Jammu region and Srinagar, Sopore, Baramulla, Kupwara, Kulgam, Tral and Anantnag in Kashmir Valley.
According to the official, forest areas in Shopian and Lolab valley in Kashmir have already become safe havens for anti-Indian ultras. Apart from preaching 'militant Islam' in sensitive zones of J&K, non-State subjects, who have already intruded into J&K, are also tasked to infiltrate among students and youth of a particular
