Six of just 10 local terror recruits in J&K in 2023 killed
Jammu
For the first time in the last three decades, recruitment of the local youth in terror outfits has hit anall-time low. According to Jammu and Kashmir Police, only 10 local youths joined the terror ranks in the year 2023, and six of them have already been killed.
The Jammu and Kashmir Police have revealed that six of the ten local youths from the Kashmir Valley who had joined terror outfits like Lashkar, Jaish and Hizb in the year 2023. have already been killed and now only four of them are active.
''The Youth of Jammu and Kashmir has understood the plans of Pakistan. In 2022, around 110 local youths had joined terror outfits, but the number this year fell drastically, with just 10 youths joining the terror ranks. Out of these 10, six have already been killed. I appeal to the youth to shun the path of violence and those four local active terrorists should also come to mainstream,'' said DGP JK Police Dilbagh Singh.
The Jammu and Kashmir Police has repeatedlyappealed to the local youth to shun the path of violence and return to the mainstream. Police says that Pakistan is still trying to derail the peace process in the Kashmir Valley, but Jammu and Kashmir Police is making sure that those attempts are unsuccessful.
However, while the recruitments have come down drastically in the Valley, the police say that many terror camps across the border are still active in areas like Sialkot and near LoC across the Gurez sector. The Jammu and Kashmir Police say that Pakistan tries to push the terrorists into Kashmir, but they have managed to foil more than 90 per cent of these bids and security forces posted along the LoC are always on high alert.

''There are trained terrorists who try to infiltrate into our territory, but terrorism is breathing its last. We are alert and have foiled around 90 per cent infiltration bids. Most of the infiltrators who were trying to cross over were killed near the LoC only. The forces have been extremely successful this year on the LoC,'' said Dilbagh Singh.
Jammu and Kashmir Police have also said they will soon make Kashmir terror-free, and Kashmir will be a peaceful place soon.
