The army has deployed additional troops in the hilly districts of Jammu division to combat the growing terrorist threat. The security forces have adopted a new strategy to counter the terrorists’ hit-and-run tactics, which have resulted in six attacks since June 9, martyring 12 security personnel in Poonch, Rajouri, Doda, and Kathua districts.
