While Indian forces continue to mount aggressive counter-terror operations in Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan's support for cross-border terrorism shows no signs of abating. Fresh intelligence inputs have revealed that Pakistan is actively aiding major terror outfits in rebuilding infrastructure destroyed during India's recent Operation Sindoor.In the last 90 days alone, more than 15 terror camps and launchpads have reportedly come up across Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Intelligence sources say these camps are being rebuilt with the help of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and other government agencies, which are not only sympathetic to the terrorists killed in Indian strikes but are now fully backing efforts to revive their networks.advertisementHit hard by Indian forces, these terrorists are now utilising new methods and advanced technologies to evade surveillance and bolster militant capabilities.
The camps are being reconstructed in key locations, including Kel, Shardi, Dudhniyal, Athmuqam, Jura, Lipa Valley, Tandapani, Nayyali, Jankot, and Chakothi. Additionally, four launchpads along the International Border in the Jammu region along Masroor, Chaprar, and a drone center at Shakargarh are also being reactivated, according to reports. This time, Pakistan-based terrorists are spreading in a wider area and avoiding concentration to evade detection by Indian forces. As India has been maintaining that Operation Sindoor is on, these terrorists fear more strikes from the forces. In order to avoid mass casualties, the terrorists are now building smaller camps accommodating approximately two dozen terrorists in a camp. The number earlier used to be five times higher in a single camp. The movement pattern of these terrorists is also changed according to sources. They are now including more women and children in their camps to use them as shields. The training is more technologically advanced with use of drones and surveillance equipment. These camps are located in densely forested areas and are reportedly equipped with radar camouflage, satellite masking, and other advanced tools. According to intelligence assessments, the ISI has allocated over PKR 100 crore to support this rebuild. Post-Operation Sindoor, top commanders from Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), The Resistance Front (TRF), and senior ISI officials have held multiple strategy meetings to chart out new plans.The terrorists are restructuring their operational leadership, procuring new weapons, and trying to resume recruitment efforts both in Pakistan and Jammu and Kashmir. There has been a significant drop in new terrorist recruitment in Jammu and Kashmir amid intense counter terror operations by the forces. - Ends
