Jammu and Kashmir

In 2019, Mattoo was featured in the list of 10 most wanted terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir.

In the early hours on Friday, an encounter broke out between security forces and terrorists in the Chotigam area of the Shopian district in Jammu and Kashmir.

While there were 52 hartals and 1221 stone pelting instances in 2018, it must be mentioned that Jammu and Kashmir witnessed no such incident of organised hartal and stone pelting in 2023.

Three men were found dead under suspicious circumstances near the site of an ambush by terrorists in Poonch.

The Indian Army had recently moved in one more brigade to counter terrorist activities and has achieved success in the area.

An Army vehicle has been ambushed by terrorists in the Dehra Ki Gali (DKG) forest area in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district.

Former Jammu and Kashmir CM Mehbooba Mufti said that the Supreme Court’s 11th December ruling on Article 370 is not a “God’s verdict”.

"When a terrorist is neutralised in Jammu and Kashmir, his funeral procession is no longer allowed to be taken around the city amidst sloganeering; instead," LG Manoj Sinha said.

Continuing the streak of credit-claiming with "The Red Mike", Malik said that the people of Kashmir had understood the message of peace he had given to them which, he implied, is why peace prevailed in the valley even after the abrogation.

The SC verdict on the abrogation of Article 370 has ensured the Gupkar Gang has little relevance in the Valley, which is why its leaders have public outburst in the wake of the top court's ruling.
