​The first three months of 2022 saw a 100% rise in the number of jawans killed in encounters and 58% more injuries in Jammu and Kashmir compared to the same period last year, according to the data compiled by the forces.The terrorists, officials said, are now avoiding direct fights with the forces, instead indulging in stand-offs or hit-and-run and grenade attacks. Data also shows that terrorists are targetting central forces such as Army or Central Armed Police Forces. According to sources, security forces have noticed a pattern – whenever a top government minister visits J&K, terrorists get more aggressive.
