Jammu and Kashmir is facing continued terror threats this winter, with intelligence agencies assessing the presence of over 30 Pakistani terrorists operating in the Jammu region, even as the Indian Army has ramped up counter-terror operations during Chillai Kalan, the 40-day harshest phase of winter, to prevent them from exploiting harsh weather conditions.
Defence and intelligence sources say the terrorists, increasingly under pressure from sustained operations, have moved into higher and middle mountain areas in Kishtwar and Doda where civilian presence is minimal. The shift is being seen as an attempt to evade detection and regroup during the winter freeze, traditionally considered a low-activity period.
Rejecting the seasonal slowdown, the Army has expanded its operational reach into snowbound and high-altitude zones since the onset of Chillai Kalan on December 21. Forward winter bases and temporary surveillance posts have been established to maintain uninterrupted pressure on terror hideouts, even as temperatures drop below freezing.
