‘Hard reset’: A year since Pahalgam, J&K’s security landscape looks vastly different

Indian Express·3h 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.
