Srinagar: 

As many as 38 terrorists hailing from Pakistan are currently active in Jammu and Kashmir, said sources on Friday. The security forces will soon launch an operation to eliminate the terrorists, added sources.

As per reports, out of the 38 terrorists, 27 belong to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) while 11 have affiliations with Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) as Indian security forces remain hot on their trail.

It was further reported that these Pakistani terrorists are spread out in Jammu and Kashmir, and hiding in cities as well the forest.

They have been located in Srinagar, Baramulla, Kulgam and Pulwama and other parts of the Valley.

The ‘Special Group’, constituted after the spate of the civilian killings in the Jammu and Kashmir valley in October this year, have been trying to find the exact locations for pinpointed operations, the officials in the security grid said, adding that they have been provided help from the overground workers.

They also said that the identifications become possible because of the specialised group of central police agencies and which have now synergy with other stakeholders such the Indian Army and the Jammu and Kashmir Police’s Special Operation Group (SOG).

The newly constituted Terror Monitor Group (TMG) has been very effective in neutralising terrorists in the valley with coordination with other central agencies, connecting all terror links together.

The TMG will be the main part of the operation against these terrorists in the valley. This group has successfully led decisive operations against terrorists within a few km of the Indian border due to accurate information about the cases of infiltration.
