Militancy in Kashmir is witnessing a tectonic shift. While the indigenous militant outfit Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) is taking over from the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), the militants are shifting their base from traditional stronghold to less suspect places. A survey conducted by security agencies, a copy of which lies with the Hindustan Times, points towards migration of militants towards less suspect areas, like chief minister Omar Abdullah’s stronghold constituency, Ganderbal district.
From the usual militant hubs like south Kashmir’s Kulgam area, there are less militants there than perceived in peaceful areas like Ganderbal, where around 16 militants are active, with seven local boys and four suspected to be outsiders. Kulgam area has only 13 militants.
Another quirky revelation is that Srinagar has more militants than Shopian district, which once was a militancy hotbed. There are 14 militants active in Srinagar, belying inspector general of police SM Sahai’s contention of zero militancy, and only 13 in Shopian.
Interesting developments, to be dealt with caution!
