Good work by the forces. But we must also think long-term. What is being done for the youth in these areas to prevent radicalization? Military action is necessary, but so is a hearts-and-minds campaign.

The use of specific intelligence from local police is very encouraging. It shows trust and integration. Hope this deters others who think of crossing the border with bad intentions.

Area under surveillance even after neutralising the threat. That's important. These networks have sleeper cells. Can't let our guard down for a second. Well done, White Knight Corps!

My heart goes out to the jawans who have to operate in such difficult terrain, especially in this cold. They are the real heroes. 🙏 Stay safe, everyone.
