    JAMMU NOVEMBER 22:–Forty-five people, including 13 security personnel and 25 terrorists, were killed in three districts of Jammu this year, officials said on Wednesday, ascribing the uptick in violence to “desperate attempts from across the border” to revive militancy in the region.

    The dead included three Army officers, including two captains, who lost their lives in an ongoing anti-terrorist operation in Bajimaal area of Rajouri district.

    Two earlier ambushes in Mendhar area of Poonch and Kandi forest of Rajouri on April 20 and May 5, respectively had claimed the lives of 10 soldiers, including five commandos.

    According to officials, 45 deaths have been recorded in militancy-related violence since January this year in the twin border districts of Rajouri and Poonch and nearby Reasi district.

    While 20 terrorists and six security personnel were killed in Rajouri, 15 terrorists and five security personnel were killed in Poonch district. Three terrorists were killed in Reasi district.

    Most of the terrorists were killed while attempting to sneak into this side of the border, the officials said.

    The latest encounter in Rajouri comes close on the heels of another gunfight in Behrote in Budhal area on November 17, which left one terrorist killed.

    The officials said the uptick in the encounters was a result of massive counter-terrorist operations by security agencies to scuttle repeated attempts from across the border to revive militancy in the Jammu region, and to ease pressure on the terrorists operating in Kashmir Valley.

    This year, 117 people, including 81 terrorists and 23 security personnel, have been killed in militancy-related violence in Jammu and Kashmir. The dead includes an Army colonel and a deputy superintendent of police (DSP) who lost their lives in a week-long operation in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district.–(PTI)
