There has been a 50 per cent decline in incidents of security forces killed in Jammu & Kashmir during operations this year so far compared to last year’s corresponding period, data has revealed.

As per the data compiled by the Jammu & Kashmir Police, a total of 36 security personnel were killed this year between January and July while the number was 76 last year during the same period. However, the data said, injuries to security forces have increased this year.

A total of 138 security force personnel were injured this year so far compared to last year’s 107 cases during January to July, the data says, adding the number was more than 3,300 during the Burhan Wani incident in 2016.

More than 3,300 security personnel from Jammu & Kashmir Police and central paramilitary forces were injured while maintaining law and order in the valley in over 1,000 violent incidents in Kashmir since the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in an encounter with security forces on July 8, 2016, the J&K Police said.

Speaking on the trend, Jammu & Kashmir Director General of Police Dilbag Singh told IANS that casualties of security forces during operations have been very low this year compared to previous years following strategic action against active anti-national groups and banning of several organizations like Jamaat-e-Islami by the Centre.

The officer said that 504 separatists have been freed after signing a ‘Good Behaviour Bond’ and they will be caught soon if they violate law and order and instigate youths to get involved in stone-pelting and other anti-government activities. A total of 104 people of Jamaat and Hurriyat were booked last year and 13 this year under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), said the DGP, adding that “top separatist leaders like Ashraf Sehrai and Amir Hamza were arrested when we came to know that they are expected to succeed Syed Ali Shah Geelani as Chairman of the hardline faction of All Parties Hurriyat Conference.”

As per the data, overall law and order incidents have also declined to 102 this year compared to last year’s 389 cases from January to July. There is 73 per cent decline this year compared to last year. The data further reveals that the J&K Police has so far registered 261 FIRs under UAPA and arrested 444 people.

Last year, the data says, 395 cases under UAPA were registered and 849 people were arrested. In terms of law and order incidents, following the abrogation of Article 370, incidents in Jammu & Kashmir below 50 per cent, says the data, adding it was not even 8 per cent in terms of violence.

In terms of intensity, the J&K Police chief said these cases are nowhere close to the Burhan Wani period as “no one was killed and not a single bullet was fired post abrogation”. Post abrogation, the number of civilians injured during operations was around 70 while around 200 security personnel suffered injuries, reveals the data.

The police chief of the erstwhile state said this is due to the restraint of the security forces.

“The force injuries were more than three times the civilian injuries. Neither civilians nor security personnel was killed in the incidents.”

The officer said that the people here have cooperated and the police have tried to increase their cooperation level so far. “Under the current scenario, Jammu and Kashmir Police has one of the best relations with the public. The people and Kashmir might have 10 grievances against civil, service delivery and governance. But the grievances against the police will be limited and motivated,” the DGP said.

“There may be issues on the governance level but the situation on obedience level is better. Dande maar ke nahi karwaya hai (we did not do it by force). It all happened because of the neat and clear actions of the police.”

According to the data, this year a total of 124 terrorism-related incidents were noted in Jammu & Kashmir compared to 198 reported last year from January to July. These incidents include shooting, hurling of grenades, kidnapping, burning of government property and raising TRF flags.

“There is 37 per cent decline in these incidents,” he said.

Pak attempts to bring back Geelani as Hurriyat head in Kashmir

SRINAGAR: The Pakistan National Assembly’s resolution to confer the Nishan-e-Pakistan, its highest civilian award, on separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani and to name an engineering university in Islamabad after him is being seen by Hurriyat activists here as an attempt by Islamabad to woo the ailing 91-year-old Geelani back into the Hurriyat fold. Syed Ali Geelani had quit as head of his Hurriyat faction a month ago and nominated 55-year-old Abdullah Geelani as his successor for the PoK chapter of the separatist amalgamation. He left the Kashmir Hurriyat seat vacant, ostensibly for reasons of corruption within the Hurriyat cadre here. The move rattled Pakistan’s ISI and they, according to Hurriyat insiders, managed to get Geelani the Nishan-e-Pakistan and to have the engineering university named after Geelani. His “life and struggle for the separation of J&K” is to be introduced into the Pakistani academic curriculum. Though the Kashmir-based Jamaat-e-Islami has been banned by the authorities here as most of its leaders are in jail, activists associated with the Jamaat and other separatists are thrilled by the Pakistan NA adopting the resolution tabled by the Jamaat provisional head, Senator Mustaq Ahmad Khan of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, after the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf’s MoS for parliamentary affairs Ali Mohammad Khan seconded the resolution on Monday in the assembly with a majority voice vote. The recent lukewarm response to the general strike call given by the Geelani’s Hurriyat faction on the death anniversary of Hizb commander Burhan Wani and subsequent denial by Geelani’s family of a press release issued in the name of Syed Ali Geelani also prompted Pakistan to try to bring Geelani back as the face of the Hurriyat in the Kashmir valley, a senior Hurriyat insider said. “Pakistan has gone into damage-control mode by honouring Kashmir’s tallest leader with the Nishan-e-Pakistan because the same Pakistan had recently dumped Geelani Sahib, who subsequently resigned from the Hurriyat,” Majid Hyderi, a political analyst, said, adding that Pakistan believes that it has now got a chance to internationalise the Kashmir issue yet again after the abrogation of JK’s special status. “Also, Geelani Sahib is not the first Indian to get it, former PM Morarji Desai had also received it,” Hyderi said. A veteran hardline Hurriyat leader who did not want to be named said “It is heartening to learn that Syed Ali Geelani was conferred Pakistan’s highest civilian award.”

The Joint Resistance Forum, comprising the three main separatist groups in Kashmir, today condemned the death of a tourist whose vehicle was targeted by stone-pelters and said the incident had dented the image of the Valley and its tradition of welcoming guests.  The death of 22-year-old Chennai resident R Thirumani in a hospital here yesterday was “unfortunate” and had undermined their struggle, said a statement from the Forum, comprising the hardline and moderate factions of the Hurriyat Conference and the JKLF “Tourists are our guests and we should be loyal to our Kashmiri and religious traditions by refraining from harassing them,” the statement in Urdu said. The leaders, including Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umer Farooq and JKLF chief Yaseen Malik, said the Valley has for years hosted tourists in the best traditions of Kashmiri hospitality. People in the Valley, the statement to the press said, should refrain from destroying the basic fabric of Kashmiriyat in the state.  Such incidents encourage the attempts of those who present our movement in a bad light internationally, it added. Thirumani and his family were returning from Gulmarg, about 50 km from summer capital Sringar, when their vehicle was caught in stone pelting near Magam area of Budgam.   A stone hit the young man on his right temple and he was rushed to the Soura Institute of Medical Sciences where he died.  The Rediff.com : 8th.
