A total of 146 terrorists have been killed in 97 incidents of encounter between militants and the Indian security force in Jammu and Kashmir this year.

"Four terrorists were killed in an attack on Kathar Army camp and six in Mahora in Uri in 2014, while in two separate attacks on Army camps in 2015, two militants were killed in Samba and three in Tangdhar. Four militants were killed in an attack on Uri army camp while three in Nagrota camp," he said.

"This year, till October, there had been 276 bids in which 109 militants successfully managed to enter India. Out of them, 29 militants were killed, 138 returned to Pakistan and two were arrested," he said.

Army today paid floral tributes to the three soldiers killed in a militant attack on an army convoy at Pampore on Srinagar-Jammu National Highway.

"In a solemn ceremony at Badami Bagh Cantonment here, many senior officials from security agencies including Jammu and Kashmir Police, CRPF, BSF and SSB, joined General Officer Commanding, Chinar Corps, Lt Gen J S Sandhu and all ranks in paying homage to the martyrs on behalf of a proud nation," an army official said.

The Indian Army conducted “surgical strikes”–as the government called them–against terrorists within Azad Kashmir (Azad Kashmir) on September 30, 2016. Since then, at least 33 Indian security-personnel have been killed in J&K, according to data collated by IndiaSpend from various news sources.

As many as 71 Indian security forces personnel were killed this year by terrorists in J&K, as of November 27, 2016, up 82% since 2015, when 39 soldiers were killed, according to data tabled by the home ministry in the Lok Sabha (lower house of Parliament).

Injuries among security personnel doubled since last year to 208. Incidents of terrorist violence in J&K increased 47% to 305 in 2016, from 208 in 2015.

The data indicate that terrorist activities increased over 2016 in J&K compared to 2015, IndiaSpend reported on November 25, 2016.

Incident fuels speculations of a cross-border raid coinciding with the State Assembly session.
Three personnel of the General Reserve Engineer Force (GREF) of the Border Roads Organisation were killed in an attack by miltants in the early hours of Monday on their camp near the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu’s Akhnoor district.

As the attackers remain elusive, there was a speculation of a cross-border raid coinciding with the State Assembly session.

A senior police official said the attackers, whose numbers is not known, alighted in Battal area, which has both International Border (IB) as well as the closeby LoC, and attacked the camp.

The camp, housing around dozen GREF employees, is about 2 km away from the LoC.

“The area was cordoned off immediately. The attackers are still on the run,” said the police official.

All schools in the area were closed. Police said no eyewitness has come forward with any tip-off on the attackers.

In Assembly, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti condemned the attack. “No one feels good over the killings. Everyone feels bad,” she said.

Where has the 56 inch chest gone missing?, says Oppn


Both lawmakers of the National Conference and the Congress created a ruckus in the Assembly over the attack, seeking a government response.

“Three jawans were killed and we do not know what happened. Where has the 56 inch chest gone missing? Was it just a militant attack or a surgical strike by Pakistan?” asked NC MLA Devinder Singh Rana.

Several BJP lawmakers raised slogans against Pakistan.

In 2015, there was a similar attack in Jammu when the Assembly session was on.

Updated: January 26, 2017 16:02 IST

The Army has retrieved ten bodies of the soldiers who went missing after being hit by two avalanches at separate locations in Bandipora’s Gurez valley, 200 km from Srinagar. Seven soldiers have been rescued so far.

“The avalanches had hit an Army camp and an Army patrol in two separate locations between January 25 and 26 in Gurez,” said an Udhampur-based Army spokesman.

He said ten bodies have been recovered so far.

“The Army is working in extreme bad weather and heavy snowfall. The rescue operations were on immediately after the avalanches were reported,” said the spokesman, without identifying the exact location.

He said one Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO) and six soldiers were rescued on Thursday morning.

“In another avalanche in the same area on Wednesday, one Army patrol moving towards the post went missing. The area continues to receive heavy snowfall," noted the spokesman.

Braving inhospitable weather conditions, coordinated rescue operations are in progress. "Three bodies could be recovered so far. The search operations are continuing,” said the spokesman.

The Army has refused to disclose the number of missing soldiers.

Gurez is a mountainous region with a small valley across the Razdan Pass, the only road connecting with Kashmir Valley at the height of 11,672 feet. The Gurez valley, bordering Azad Kashmir (Azad Kashmir), remains cut off due to heavy snowfall since first week of January.

Avalanches are emerging a new challenge for soldiers manning the State inhospitable terrains and unending mountain ranges.

In 2016, four Army personnel were killed after their patrol party was hit by an avalanche at Siachen Glacier on January 3.

Nine soldiers were killed on February 8, 2016, when another avalanche buried a whole camp in Siachen.

The avalanches struck an Army patrol and a camp in Gurez on January 25 and 26, burying over 20 soldiers.

Earlier, Major Amit Sagar was killed when an avalanche hit his post at Sonamarg on Tuesday. Four soldiers were buried under the avalanche but were rescued. The Army has a large number of high altitude posts vulnerable to avalanches. The practice of relocating soldiers from such posts during winters was discontinued after the 1999 Kargil war. Fresh snowfall separately continued across the Kashmir valley, forcing authorities to issue avalanche alerts.
