Identifying sleeper cells biggest challenge for security agencies in Poonch, Rajouri
5/6/2023 11:18:49 PM
Early Times Report

Jammu, May 6: Repeated terror attacks in the twin border districts of Poonch and Rajouri have forced the security agencies to revisit the policy to identify local contacts providing shelters to Pakistani intruders.
Highly placed sources said that Union Government has taken a very serious view of the frequent terror attacks in the Poonch and Rajouri districts which were earlier free from terrorism just a couple of years ago.
“Terrorism in revived in this mountainous region comprising two districts with the support of locals who are providing all logistics to Pakistani terrorists carry on attacks on security forces and members of the minority community after repeated intervals”, sources said and added that Union Government has asked security agencies engaged in operations in Jammu region to strengthen its network and single out sleeper cells and over ground workers.
After the infamous Dhangri terror attack on January 1, victim families alleged that locals were also involved in providing all information to the terrorists who selectively killed members of the minority community.
Despite terror victims' repeatedly raised the demand of signaling out locals who are providing support to terrorists, authorities failed to identify such elements.
Although half a dozen civilians were arrested in connection with the April 20 attack, forces failed to break the terror network in this belt due to the active involvement of locals in providing logistics to terrorists.
After arresting six civilians including members of a family, local police claimed to have busted the module involved in providing support to terror groups active in this region but terrorists again struck on Friday to register their presence.
As reported area, some forest areas of the Poonch and Rajouri area appeared to become a “safe haven” for Pakistani terrorists who managed to infiltrate this side of the Line of Control (LoC).
This forest is so dense that it becomes very difficult to find out about the terrorists.
Terrorists can escape from here to Dera Gali in the Rajouri and Thannamandi areas of Poonch. From both these places, terrorists can escape to the Valley through the Mughal route.
