How Security Forces are changing the narrative in Kashmir post 5 Aug 2019. A #thread

#Kashmir is witnessing a major decline in #terrorists activities post abrogation of #Article370. A major positive shift is the 42% decline in youth joining terror groups this year.

The strategy was multi-pronged: from sustained pin-point operations to dissuading potential recruits from joining #terrorist ranks to social media monitoring to appealing to the "misguided youth" through their mothers.

Another positive aspect has been that no stone-pelting incidents are being reported during anti- #terrorist operations this year. Stone-pelting protests at the encounter sites had emerged as a major problem for security forces in #Kashmir since late 2016.

There has also been a drop in large gatherings at funerals of #terrorists that have been effectively used to recruit youths in the past and only a handful of close relatives are seen at burial grounds.

The arrest of overground workers (OGW), who serve as the eyes and ears of #terrorists, has been another factor in curbing terrorist activities. More than 240 OGWs have been arrested and booked this year.

At the same time Security Forces have intensified anti-terrorists operations neutralizing more 165 terrorists this year. In the 03 months since the beginning of the lockdown, 78 #terrorists have been eliminated by government forces.
(6/11)
In last three weeks, govt forces have conducted operations at unprecedented pace, 23 #Terrorists have been eliminated by the #Indian Forces in 10 different encounters in the said duration.

The govt forces have successfully eliminated the top #terrorists leadership including Riyaz Naikoo, Junaid Sehrai, Burhan Koka of Ansar Ghazwat-Ul-Hind & Bashir Koka of Lashkar, along with Abdur Rehman of Pakistan. This has broken the back of terror groups in the valley.
(8/11)
As a result there is a sharp increase in ceasefire violations this year: more than 2662 incidences, showing #Pakistan’s desperate attempt to infiltrate #terrorists in #Kashmir to fill in their depleting cadres as local recruitment is down
(9/11)
Almost all such infiltration attempts have been thwarted by the #Indian forces at the LoC, making matter worse for the terror organisation in #Kashmir.
(10/11)
With the collapsing terror groups & govt pushing development projects at an unprecedented pace, #Kashmir is well poised to usher into the era of #peace #development & # prosperity. All that's required is a push in the right direction.
