Jammu & Kashmir  

Jammu and Kashmir Police in a statement today said that a viral video had surfaced on social media showing a police vehicle being utilised for distribution of food items in a political party rally in Anantnag.
 

In the past few years, there has been a tangible transition from full-scale militancy to unrest and disturbances in different forms which have become a matter of concern for general masses of Kashmir. The repercussions of continued unrest and conflicts are quite evident. 

 

Malik, chief of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), was arrested in the crackdown after the Pulwama terror attack in which over 40 CRPF jawans had been killed in an IED blast.

 

 

Faiyaz Ahmad Lone had a reward of Rs 2 lakh on his head and had been evading arrest since 2015. 

 

 

A joint team of 44 Rashtriya Rifles of the army, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Special Operations Group (SOG) launched a cordon and search operation after receiving credible inputs about the presence of terrorists in the Pulwama.

The government of India has banned Jammu & Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), taking strong action against terrorism. According to the government, the decision to ban the organisation was taken after the Pulwama attack. A total of 37 FIRs have been registered by J&K Police against JKLF

All agencies have expedited their probe against Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front. While the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is probing a money laundering angle, National Investigation Agency (NIA) is probing the terror angle, and the income tax department is probing tax evasion angle.
 

Due to continuous cross-border tensions, persons living alongside the international border suffer from socio-economic and educational backwardness — according to the Narendra Modi government that has now, by means of an ordinance amending Article 370 of the Constitution, offered them education and employment reservation, which was hitherto enjoyed only by those living near the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir

The Governor also urged the people to remain calm as Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave very clear information about how to tackle the situation in Jammu and Kashmir

While it is unlikely the Centre will take the final decision before the Supreme Court decides the fate of Article 35A, the nationwide sentiment following the Pulwama terror attack may pressure the Narendra Modi government to do something drastic on Monday after the apex court resumes work and takes a stand on the regime considered discriminatory across the country outside the Kashmir valley

According to government data, as many as 1,708 terrorist incidents took place in the past five years, i.e. from 2014 to 2019. Last year, 614 cases were reported, which was almost three times of 222 cases in 2014.
