Baramulla: In a significant security incident, terrorists opened fire on a police post located in Watergam Rafi, Baramulla. The attack took place on [insert date], triggering a swift response from police personnel stationed at the post. According to sources, a retaliatory operation has been launched by the police, and no casualties have been reported so far.
This attack comes on the heels of another deadly incident earlier in the week, when terrorists ambushed a joint patrol of the Jammu and Kashmir Police and the Special Operations Group (SOG) in Udhampur district. During that attack, which occurred in the remote Dudu area of Basantgarh, Inspector Kuldeep Singh of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF)’s 187th battalion was killed. The ambush occurred while SOG and CRPF personnel were conducting a routine patrol, and the terrorists managed to escape after a brief exchange of fire.
In response to these attacks, additional security forces have been deployed in affected areas, and search operations are ongoing to locate the perpetrators. These incidents are part of a broader surge in terror activities in Jammu and Kashmir, coinciding with the upcoming Union Territory Assembly elections.
The Assembly elections, scheduled to take place after a nearly 10-year hiatus, are set to be conducted in three phases. The first phase will be held on September 18, followed by the second phase on September 25 and the third on October 1, with results expected on October 4. This will be the first election in the region since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019.
Security arrangements across the valley are being bolstered in anticipation of the elections, with additional troops being deployed and three-tier security measures being implemented in sensitive areas. Special attention is being given to regions where terrorist activity has been prevalent, with enhanced vigilance and troop presence to ensure the safety of voters and the smooth conduct of the elections.
As the election dates approach, the series of terror attacks appear to be aimed at creating an atmosphere of fear and instability in the valley, but security forces remain resolute in their efforts to counter these threats and maintain peace in the region.
