While I appreciate our security forces' work, I wonder if there's a better long-term solution than just military operations? We need to address root causes too. My heart goes out to the families of the martyred soldiers.

These raids are necessary but media should be more responsible in reporting. Sometimes they reveal too much operational detail which helps terrorists. Jai Hind!

The recovery of medical supplies shows how sophisticated these terror networks have become. Our forces are doing amazing work in difficult conditions. We should increase their resources and modern equipment.

As someone from Jammu, I've seen how these operations have improved security situation. But we must also focus on development projects to win hearts and minds of local people.
