In a post, the ‘Chinar Corps’ stated that based on intelligence inputs, Indian soldiers and Jammu and Kashmir Police launched a joint anti-terror operation in the Kazwan forest area on October 8. It was during this patrol that Hilal Ahmad Bhat was abducted.

With the National Conference-Congress alliance set to form the government in Jammu and Kashmir, such incidents may become increasingly common.

The Indian government must recognize the urgent need to gain control over Pakistan-occupied Kashmir as a government that encourages terrorism is about to be in power in Kashmir.
