"We have witnessed 90 per cent decline in militancy in the Bandipora district which was once hub of militancy, but the enemies of peace are still alive who don't want people to live in peace," Khan told reporters while giving details about the of Territorial Army Man killed in Naidkhi on 24th November last year. "There is new trend in the militancy, they are fighting now on technological grounds and are providing special computer trainings to the newly recruits to fight keeping technological developments in view," Khan said. "We have recently arrested two people who visited Pakistan with a specific motive of receiving computer training to fight with novel ways in the State," the DIG said adding "Kashmir police is always prepared to face the challenges".
Responding to a question, he said: "Sopore was once considered as the nucleus of the militancy, now we have squeezed them. Militancy in Sopore is now limited to few grenade attacks and landmine blast which shows their (militants) weakness." "They always resort to civilian damage in Sopore," he claimed.
Commenting on the target killings, Khan said, "These incidents will happen as few people who are enemies to peace are still alive.

"Acting on these clues, police arrested Tariq, who during questioning named Ghulam Muhammad Wani, Muhammad Yousuf Dar and Ghulam Hassan," he said. He described the main motive of the killing as an effort to revive target killings in the area. The main task of these modules was to kill respectable persons of Sumbal, Naidkhi and Hajin area so that a fear psychosis is created, he said.
