In response to escalating terrorist activities, the Indian Army is initiating 'Operation Sarvashakti' to target militants across Pir Panjal mountain ranges in Jammu and Kashmir. This strategic move follows recent terror attacks in the valley, prompting heightened security measures.

Under 'Operation Sarvashakti,' the Srinagar-based Chinar Corps, in collaboration with the Nagrota-headquartered White Knight Corps, will conduct counter-terrorism operations on both sides of the Pir Panjal mountain ranges. The Jammu and Kashmir Police, CRPF, Special Operations Group, and intelligence agencies will work collaboratively to thwart attempts to revive terrorist activities, particularly in the Rajouri Poonch sector.

Army headquarters and the Northern Army Command will closely monitor these counter-terrorism operations. The decision stems from a security meeting chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who gathered top officials, including NSA Ajit Doval, Army representatives, and intelligence experts.
