While the intent is good, I hope this "mission mode" also focuses on winning hearts. Lasting peace needs more than just military action. We need to ensure youth have jobs and a future so they don't fall for propaganda.

Targeting the terror ecosystem is the key! You can't just fight the gunman, you have to cut off the money, the overground workers, and the drug smuggling that funds it. Good to see a comprehensive strategy. Our forces are doing a tough job.

As someone who visited Kashmir last year, the change is palpable. There's a sense of normalcy returning. Kudos to the forces for making tourism possible again. Hope 2026 truly is the year it ends for good.

The mention of Pakistani-origin terrorists and ISI support is crucial. The world needs to keep seeing where the problem originates from. Our forces are guarding the border and fighting internally simultaneously. Salute to their bravery.

Synergy between JKP, Army, and CAPFs is very important. When agencies work in silos, terrorists find gaps. This coordinated approach will yield better results. Let's hope for a peaceful year ahead for our brothers and sisters in J&K.
