To combat terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Army launches Operation Sarvashakti

Operation Sarvashakti is an important tactic that the Indian Army is launching to counter the increasing terrorist activity in Jammu and Kashmir in response to previous attacks, particularly the sad tragedy on December 21.This operation comes in reaction to heightened efforts by Pakistani proxy terrorist groups to reignite terrorism in the region, notably south of the Pir Panjal hills of Jammu and Kashmir.The Jammu and Kashmir Police, the Central Reserve Police Force, the Special Operations Group, and intelligence agencies are all cooperating in this operation.Northern Command and Army Chief General Manoj Pande have had in-depth conversations about addressing the terrorist threat in advance of this operation.Comparing Operation Sarvashakti to the 2003 operation Sarpvinash, which also sought to drive terrorists from the same regions, comparable results are anticipated. Terrorist activity in the region had all but stopped by 2003, according to Army Chief General Manoj Pande, but enemies are currently attempting to rekindle hostilities.Shortly after Home Minister Amit Shah's security conference with key players—such as National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Army and intelligence agencies, and state and federal police officials—the strategy for Operation Sarvashakti was developed.The Indian Army is starting 'Operation Sarvashakti' in an attempt to crack down on these, according to media reports citing sources.

The goal of this operation is to combat the terrorist resurgence that Pakistani proxy groups are facilitating along the Pir Panjal mountain ranges in the Union Territory."Operation Sarvashakti would be to carry out combined counter-terrorist operations from both sides of the Pir Panjal ranges where the formations of the Srinagar-based Chinar Corps along with the Nagrota-headquartered White Knight Corps would be carrying out simultaneous operations," sources within the security forces told ANI.

"The Jammu and Kashmir Police, CRPF, Special Operations Group, and the intelligence agencies would be working in close coordination to thwart Pakistani designs to revive terrorist activities in the UT, especially in the Rajouri Poonch sector," they stated.The anticipated activities will resemble those of Operation Sarpvinash, which was initiated in 2003 with the goal of removing terrorists from the same regions in the South of the Pir Panjal range. According to recent remarks made by Army Chief General Manoj Pande, terrorist activity in the region has essentially stopped since 2003, but the enemy from the west is currently attempting to resurrect it.
