Srinagar, September 29

Security forces have intensified surveillance and area domination operations in Kashmir following Saturday’s militancy-related incidents, including a grenade attack on security forces in old city, a senior security official said.

Anti-insurgency operations were intensified as part of a proactive strategy to foil any plans of militants to stage any attacks on security forces in the Valley, the official said.

The official said: “As the situation has more or less normalised on the law and order front, the anti-terrorist operations have been intensified to ensure ultras do not stage any attacks.”

As part of the drill, security has been beefed up around vital installations, including the Srinagar airport and police offices. Security bunkers were being constructed in the Valley, the official said.

Extended security perimeters had been established around police offices and other vital installations, he added. — PTI
