Number Of Active Terrorists In Jammu Kashmir Has Declined

Asserting that the situation in Kashmir is fast limping back to normal, Jammu and Kashmir Governor’s advisor Farooq Khan today said the number of active terrorists in the Valley had declined to 150 or 200 from thousands earlier.
However, he said the terrorists would either have to go to jail or get prepared to face the consequences.

“Pakistan is making attempts on Kashmir since 1947. Expecting good from it will be the biggest mistake and every citizen of the state needs to remain cautious,” Mr Khan said.
Lauding the role of people in helping the security forces to deal with terrorists over the past three decades, he said: “They are our eyes and ears as they know everything what is happening and where. They will continue their cooperation and support like in the past which led to the successful tackling of terrorism in the state.”

“Terrorism was not easy to deal with without the support and cooperation of the people which led to number of terrorists declining to 150 or 200 from thousands earlier,” the retired IPS officer, who is seen as being instrumental in breaking the backbone of militancy in the 1990s, said.
