Terrorism On Its Last Leg In Jammu And Kashmir? What Top Cop Said

Last year, 110 Kashmiri youth joined terrorist groups. Most of them were killed by security forces during encounters. This year, only 10 joined the terrorist ranks.

Only 10 local recruits have joined the terrorist ranks this year, said the Jammu and Kashmir Police today, adding that six of them have already been killed, while four others have the option to surrender or get killed.

This is the lowest ever number of locals joining militancy in Jammu and Kashmir since 1990 when Pakistan-backed militancy erupted in the region.
