J&K Terrorists Shift Tactics, Building Forest Bunkers
Terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir are now hiding in secret bunkers inside forests.
This shift comes after they lost support from local people.
These bunkers, located in dense forests, make it harder for the security forces to find them.
Security forces found evidence of hidden bunkers with supplies during a recent operation.
The security agencies will use technology like drones and seismic sensors to locate these bunkers.
This new tactic resembles tactics from the 1990s.
Terrorist groups are building underground bunkers in forests of Jammu and Kashmir.
This change follows a decline in local support for terrorist groups.
Bunkers are located in the Kulgam, Shopian, and Jammu regions.
Security forces will deploy new technologies to counter the threat.
These tactics are similar to those used in the 1990s and early 2000s.
