Kashmir on edge as undetected in Hltration sets alarm bells off

AUTHORITIES HAVE STRUGGLED AGAINST "HID'DEN THREAT"

SRINAGARINEW DELHI: An investigation into the October 20 terrorist attack in Gagangir in Iammu and Kashmi's Ganderbal district has indicated significant gaps in intelligence and undetected infiltration since last one year along the Line of Control (Lo C), officials said on Sunday.

The attack, which claimed the lives of seven individuals, including a local doctor and two labourers from Bihar, has raised concerns about the unreported trend of local youths joining militant groups in Kashmir during this period.

The attack on the Z-Morh tunnel construction site involved two terrorists, one identified as a local youth from Kulgam in South Kashmir who joined a terrorist group in 2023, while the other is believed to have come from Pakistan.
