The growing fear of encounter has forced terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir to take different routes to infiltrate. Security forces in Kashmir have broken the backs of terrorist organisations and their on-ground workers (OGW) working to disrupt law and order situation by conducting massive joint operations.

 

Jammu and Kashmir police sources claimed that on-ground workers of these terrorists have also failed to provide hardware, forcing them to take other routes to plan terror activities. Given the deteriorating support of their on-ground workers, terror outfits have also been witnessing factions.

 

As per sources, there have been instances recorded by the local police and intelligence agencies where leaders of terror outfits have gone back to Pakistan occupied Jammu Kashmir (PojK) due to lack of ground support in the region.

 

Sources have confirmed that a meeting was held in Bamdoora, Kokernag recently where district commander of Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), Tariq Khan, another terrorist leader Haider Jihadi and 16-17 other terrorists met to avoid the emergence of fractions among outfits and decided to divide the area.

 

According to Intelligence agencies and Jammu & Kashmir police local inputs, there are areas in Kashmir which have not been touched by terror outfits fearing encounter by security forces . "A terrorist who tried to infiltrate returned to PoK after getting no support from local workers. The terrorist was in PoK for a very long time as he failed in his attempts," sources told ANI quoting an intelligence input.
