Tensions in J&K following the Pahalgam attacks
Soon after the Pahalgam attack, authorities launched a sweeping crackdown on terrorists and their sympathisers suspected of operating in the region. 26 people were shot dead after terrorists infiltrated a tourist destination in Pahalgam, Kashmir, sending shockwaves across India.
The authorities in the region are demolishing homes, raiding hideouts, and detaining hundreds of overground workers for questioning, officials said Saturday.
According to PTI, in the last 48 hours, six houses allegedly belonging to terrorists and their associates have been razed, with officials warning similar actions will be taken against more people.
As per the report, the demolished homes belonged to known militants and their associates, including Ahsan ul Haq from Pulwama, who trained in Pakistan in 2018 and recently infiltrated into the Valley; Shahid Ahmad Kuttay, a senior Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander from Shopian involved in years of anti-national activities; and Zakir Ahmad Ganie from Kulgam, under surveillance since 2023 for alleged terror links.
The fourth house, which was demolished by the authorities, is located in Kupwara’s Kalaroos area and belonged to Farooq Ahmad Tedwa and Miskeen Ahmad Tedwa, both currently operating from Pakistan, officials added.
