Indian Express·2h ago·Neutral
What Happened
One year after the Pahalgam terror attack, Jammu and Kashmir's security forces have implemented significant strategic changes. The Army intensified forest operations while J&K Police established two elite counterinsurgency units, 'Snow Leopards' and 'Markhor', trained in high-altitude and jungle warfare. The security approach shifted from defensive to preemptive and offensive operations. Officials report Pahalgam was the last major militant attack in the region.
