New Delhi/Srinagar, May 3: A few days before the deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, intelligence agencies flagged off the possible targeting of tourists, especially people living in hotels on the outskirts of Srinagar in the foothills of the Zarwan range said on Saturday.
It inspired an increased security appearance with the top police brass camp in Srinagar in these areas to oversee the operations around the dachigam, nis and nearby areas.
These areas attracted attention and in October last year due to a terrorist attack at a construction site in Sonamarg, security forces increased patrolling, killing seven people, including a doctor. The region is located on the other side of the Zabarawan range, which is with the scene of the city of Srinagar.
Despite the two -week operation, the security forces made extensive discovery on the outskirts of Srinagar on the basis of intelligence, but these efforts did not get any success and the operation was closed on 22 April, the day the terrorists targeted tourists in the Pahgam region, killing 26 of them.
To suggest that the terrorists wanted to design such nefaris during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit, to flag the first train from Katra to Srinagar last month.
Certainly, Pakistan is not happy at the adjacent railway link, which aims to connect the Kashmir Valley to the rest of the country, said that the above was cited.
However, he said that the Prime Minister’s visit was first scheduled for April 19, which was postponed due to adverse weather forecasts predicting high -speed winds in the Katra region.
Officials made it clear that the weather conditions are the only reason for the adjournment, the latest inauguration dates are expected to be announced soon.
Officials said the state and non-state actors sitting across the border want a powerful scene to flag off the first train to get international attention and hence plans to overshadow the incident with such barbaric killings.
On the Pahalgam attack, the officials said that what was emerging was that two local terrorists had already got mixed up with tourists and as soon as the first shots were imposed, they put the tourists in a food court complex, where two other terrorists allegedly fired Pakistanis and killed 26 of them.
Sources said that the purpose of the attack is causing fear among the citizens and possibly leading vengeance attacks against Kashmiris elsewhere in the country.
He said that prompt action by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who spoke to the top brass in New Delhi, inspired the instructions being given to the state governments to ensure that Kashmiri locals were safe in their states.
Officials have reported a worrying tendency in the type of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, such as M-Series rifles, sniper rifles, and armor-piresing pills such as encounters, more and more than encounters, which are suspicious for remaining weapons and amunction in NATO trops, such as after recovery of advanced weapons.
The authorities also warned the case of former Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, who used a tourist arrival as an index of general status in the past, based on the arrival of tourists in Jammu and Kashmir, and former Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad. Shortly after this statement, in May 2006, four tourists died, and six others were injured when militants attacked a bus carrying tourists from Gujarat in Srinagar as it was reaching Mughal gardens.
According to officials, in a struggle area, tourism should be seen as an economic activity mainly for the general condition instead of barometer.
Regarding the report about the report about Besaran to open tourists, the authorities clarified that the area remains accessible throughout the year, except during the Amarnath Yatra or the period of heavy snowfall.
The Jammu and Kashmir administration really issued an tender for Basaron, which was awarded a person from South Kashmir for a period of three years at a cost of Rs 3 crore in the last August. The entire Besaran Meadow has been fensure since then, and even a zipline facility has been established.
Recently, on the practice of destroying houses used in anti-terrorism operations, officials said it was stopped at the request of the elected governments of Jammu and Kashmir.
New Delhi was advised to focus on spontaneous protests throughout the Kashmir Valley after Pahalgam killings on 22 April, reminiscent of public movements seen during the Nirbaya case in New Delhi. (Agencies)
