J&K, May 16: At a state of silence in the J&K due to ceasefire, the insider terrorists yet wreak panic in the valleys.
During anti-terror operations in south Kashmir the security forces eliminated at least six terrorists in the past three days, who were reportedly picked, radicalised and trained locally in J&K, officials said on Friday.
V K Birdi, Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kashmir said operations have been scaled up to deal with the local handlers.
"These successful operations were possible because of the coordination and synergy among the security and intelligence agencies. We are duty-bound to end any terror activity in Kashmir and we are always ready to stop such acts," the IGP said.
The encounters took place in the Keller area of Shopian and the Nadar area of Tral in Pulwama on Tuesday and Thursday.
The security agencies received an intelligence input about the presence of terrorists in the Keller area of Shopian on the night of May 12, Major Joshi said.
"So the domination party that was deployed there for some time, relocated itself and in a focused way closed in on the area. They challenged the terrorists who fired at them, leading to an encounter in which three terrorists were neutralised," he added.
