Well done to the Chinar Warriors! But honestly, how many more such incidents before we seal the border completely? Every year we catch a few, but what about the ones who slip through? Let's hope the interrogation yields concrete information about infiltration routes.
It's reassuring to see the cooperation between the Army and local police working effectively. The intelligence-based operation prevented what could have been a serious security lapse. I hope they find out his motives and if he had any planned target. Stay safe, J&K!
This is good, but let's also consider the human angle. Maybe he was a confused civilian misled by handlers. We must interrogate thoroughly but within legal boundaries. That said, national security is paramount. Hope the investigation leads to the masterminds. 🙏
Another catch! But we need to ask: Why always in Kupwara? Is the fencing not enough? Or are there gaps being exploited? Also, how did this person manage to cross without the locals noticing? Time for a review of surveillance technology there.
