Jammu and Kashmir is witnessing a 'purple revolution' with lavender farming picking up in every district of the Union Territory. Lavender has great potential as a therapeutic and aromatic herb and its farming can contribute greatly to the country's economy. There is also a high demand for the Kashmir Valley's lavender in India and abroad.

The government of Jammu and Kashmir is taking many initiatives to help the farmers across the Union Territory to take up and increase lavender farming. The Department of Agriculture in Jammu and Kashmir is helping farmers increase their market and cultivation on a commercial level. Lavender is also considered to be a low-maintenance crop and blossoms for 15 years.

J&K: Gunfight between terrorists & security forces, 3 terrorists killed

Amarnath Yatra is commencing on June 29 and the biggest concern for the government of Jammu and Kashmir is its security. A three-tier security arrangement has been put in place by police and paramilitary forces to secure both the highway and the routes leading to the Amarnath Cave.

After the recent attacks in the Jammu region, security has been on alert across the Union Territory. Multiple security review meetings have been held for the 52-day pilgrimage to the Amarnath Cave situated at a height of 3,880 metres.&nbsp;

The Lieutenant Governor of J&amp;K Manoj Sinha also visited the Baltal base camp to take stock of the situation on the ground. Sinha directed senior officers of the administration, SASB, police, security forces and other stakeholder departments to coordinate with each other for better security and yatra management.&nbsp;

J&amp;K Police's Inspector General VK Birdi also held a security meeting. He briefed the top officials of Jammu and Kashmir Police regarding the security arrangements and smooth conduct of the Amarnath Yatra.&nbsp;

"Jammu and Kashmir Police has made adequate security arrangements and additional CRPF and Paramilitary forces have been inducted to make minute security arrangements. We have made multi-tier arrangements, be it Highway protection or entire track route protection. There are camp security measures taken care of. Technology always chips in for the security arrangements, we have already made elaborate use of CCTV surveillance on routes. We also have many technologies to detect unknown objects, besides that we have drones. Traffic arrangements would be made comfortable for tourists and Yatri's. There would be some time regulations we would be advertising soon so that tourists and Yatri's are aware, and their security aspects are taken care of without comprising their travel plans. We have taken all security measures with regard to the recent attacks, we have incorporated all the measures," Birdi told WION.&nbsp;

J&amp;K government has established a digital hi-tech Command Control Centre for real-time surveillance of the Amarnath Yatra routes. This will help the government to regulate the Yatra in a smooth manner. The centre will have around 60 people from around 20 government departments working day and night. The departments working in the centre include J&amp;K police, CRPF, NDRF, SDRF, Health, PHE, PDD, Telecom and many others.

There will be over 17 PTZ high-definition 360-degree view cameras placed all through the routes from base camps to the cave. Dozens of static cameras have also been placed at strategically important places from both Baltal and Chandanwari base camps.&nbsp;

The first batch of Yatri's will leave from Jammu camp on June 28 and will reach the same day to both the base camps at Nunwan in Pahalgam and Baltal in Sonmarg. The first batch of Yatri's will be allowed to move towards the cave on June 29.&nbsp;

J&amp;K police mountain rescue teams also carried out mock drills at the Nunwan Base camp in Pahalgam. In case of any natural disaster, teams from Jammu and Kashmir Police, NDRF, SDRF, BSF and CRPF have been deployed at all the critical junctures for both routes so that help can reach out to Yatris as soon as possible in case of any emergency.&nbsp;

"The natural torrential rains etc come in our way and we have made adequate arrangements as far as disaster management is concerned. Jammu and Kashmir's mountain rescue teams are there, SDRF and NDRF teams are there. Besides this BSF and CRPF are also contributing to the mountain rescue teams and they have been placed at the critical junctures at the entire route so that they can be pushed in case of any exigency. We have made all security arrangements, and we pray their travel and stay is comfortable," said Birdi.&nbsp;

All the registered Yatris taking the pilgrimage will be provided with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). This is to make sure that all the pilgrims are tagged and while they take the journey, the authorities would know their exact locations.&nbsp;

Jammu and Kashmir: Three-tier security for Amarnath Yatra; rescue teams carry out mock drills

In India's Jammu and Kashmir, encounters with Pakistan-backed terrorists have led to the seizure of highly encrypted Chinese telecom-hear ultra set - an equipment originally meant for use by the Pakistani Army.

J&K: India alarmed by China-made handsets used by Pakistani terrorists

J&K: Seizure of mobile handsets used by terrorists in Jammu & Kashmir raises alarm

Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed a spike in terror attacks in recent weeks and during these operations' security forces have recovered arms and ammunition along with communication devices from various parts of the Union Territory. Security forces have recently recovered Chinese-made telecommunication equipment from the terrorists in Jammu Kashmir. These devices are meant for the Pakistan Army but are being recovered from the terror groups in Jammu Kashmir.

In recent recoveries made by the security forces, highly encrypted Chinese telecom gear known as "Ultra Set" mostly used by the Pakistan Army was recovered from the terrorists. Jammu and Kashmir Police's DGP recently said that there are around 70-80 foreign terrorists active in the Union Territory and most of them had recently infiltrated. This clearly indicates that these terror groups are hand in glove with the Pakistan Army.

The Chinese equipment has been often recovered by the security forces in the Kashmir Valley from the terrorists active in Jammu and Kashmir. In a recent hideout bust in North Kashmir, Sources in the security forces said that they had recovered the 'Ultra Set' handsets from the operation site while after the recent attacks in Jammu, the forces also recovered it from the terrorists in the area.

These Chinese-made "Ultra Set" handsets, mostly combine cell-phone capabilities with specialised radio equipment that does not rely on traditional mobile technologies like Global System for Mobile (GSM) or Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA). "Ultra Set" handsets work on radio waves for message transmission and reception, with each "Ultra Set" linked to a control station located across the border. Sources say that Chinese satellites are used to carry these messages which are compressed to bytes from the handset to the master server in Pakistan for its onward transmission.

Recovery of this equipment from the terror groups also indicates the support that the Chinese government is providing to Pakistan, which eventually lands up in the hands of these terror groups. This also comes in the backdrop of China Pakistan meeting regarding the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

The 3rd round of the Joint Consultative Mechanism (JCM) of Political Parties on CPEC and the Pakistan-China Political Parties Forum was held in Islamabad. In the meeting, Both China and Pakistan reaffirmed the salience of CPEC and pledged to make joint efforts for its up-gradation and for further strengthening the Pakistan-China All-weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership.

Jammu and Kashmir: Two terrorists 'eliminated' by security forces in Baramulla district

The Union territory of Jammu & Kashmir has been a flashpoint between India and Pakistan for over seven decades. The Himalayan region has been roiled by militant violence since the start of an anti-Indian insurgency in 1989 that left tens of thousands of civilians, soldiers and rebels dead, although violence recently had tapered off. The troubled region witnessed a spurt in militant attacks beginning on the day a new government, under the leadership of Narendra Modi, was sworn in. As many as four terror attacks in four days resulted in the death of at least 12 people, besides injuring dozens, thereby putting the spotlight back on the restive region. Jyotsna Kumar brings you the details.

India: National Investigation Agency to probe Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi bus attack

From Sheikh Hasina to Mohd Muizzu, 5 south Asian leaders attend the swearing-in ceremony of the new govt, reaffirming India's SAGAR policy But as coalition partners take centre stage, will the BJP's own agenda take a back seat, amid coalition compulsions? And just after the new govt takes shape, J&K is struck by a string of deadly terror attacks, we detail the govt's counter move... All this and a lot more on ISA

Modi 3.0 begins with 'neighbourhood first' in focus | J&K struck by terror

Fresh encounter broke out in Jammu and Kashmir's Doda District on Wednesday leaving a soldier injured. Now this is the second encounter in Doda and a fourth in Jammu Kashmir in the last four days.

J&K: Security agencies face new challenges in Jammu & Kashmir

While security forces have been dealing with multiple attacks in the Jammu region in the last one week, they have a new challenge to deal with. After decades, terror groups in the valley are using difficult-to-detect liquid Improvised Explosive Devices (IED'S).&nbsp;

According to top police sources, In a recent recovery by Jammu and Kashmir Police in South Kashmir's Pulwama district, the Over the Ground Workers led to the recovery of these difficult to detect liquid Improvised Explosive Devices (IED'S), which they had hidden in an apple orchard.

Jammu and Kashmir Police had recently killed Lashkar Terrorist Riyaz Dar and Rayees Dar in an operation and had busted a group of Over the Ground Workers in the same district.&nbsp;

Jammu and Kashmir Police had earlier said that ''Following the encounter of LeT commander Reyaz Dar and his associate Rayees Dar on 3/6/24, during further investigation, Puwamal police recovered 02 IEDs weighing 06Kgs from the OGW network of the slain militants. 03 arrests have been made for providing shelter and logistics support.''

The terror groups have changed a lot of their strategies in recent times. Also, a lot of foreign terrorists now remain mostly active in the Jammu region.&nbsp;

They cross the Line of Control or International Border and directly reach into Rajouri Poonch area which also becomes the first area of attack. On the other hand, security forces have this new challenge at hand, Liquid IED's are difficult to detect and can easily avoid general detection methods.

When the OGW network was unearthed, and three persons were arrested, it was revealed that the two slain terrorists had prepared IEDs which were subsequently recovered from the possession of Shakir Bashir who hid them in the orchards.&nbsp;

The said IEDs were packed in a plastic container along with the explosives, and active circuit trigger mechanism which weighed around 06 Kgs and was later destroyed in situ by Pulwama police and army.

According to the top police official, the forensic teams are working on the findings of the IED's destroyed in the orchard.&nbsp;

The Liquid IED is either trinitrotoluene (TNT) or nitroglycerine. The Police had recovered three bottles filled with white liquid packed in Plastic. Jammu and Kashmir Police had released the photos and also the video of an explosive device blast in an orchard.

The shift in the&nbsp;strategies of terrorist organisations&nbsp;in the Union Territory will pose a big challenge for the security forces this summer.
