Security Forces Intensify Anti-Terror Operations as Gujjar-Bakerwal Migrate to Plains
With the onset of winter, nomadic Gujjar and Bakerwal communities are migrating from high-altitude pastures in Jammu division to the plains, leaving their temporary shelters, known as dhoks, vacant. Security forces have intensified anti-militancy operations by sanitising these deserted dhoks and increasing patrols in districts like Ramban, Poonch, Kishtwar, and Doda to prevent their misuse by terrorists. Past incidents have seen militants using these shelters as hideouts, prompting ongoing vigilance and security reviews by police and paramilitary officials.
