Because there's no resistance from the civilian side. And the terrain is different from Kashmir.

Who is this guy on the left? He is not wearing a soldiers gear. Just a photographer?

Probably their tangos do not carry chinese anti-tank grenades.
also notice their vehicles do not have v-shape hulls, which means they do not have to deal with land mines either.

Jammu and Kashmir: Pakistan terrorists hurl grenades at Indian Army in Sopore, area cordoned off

The area was immediately cordoned off and a detailed search operation has been initiated.

No loss of life has been reported from the area.


Alleged Pakistani terrorists hurled grenades at an army bunker of Rashtriya Rifles in Baramullah district's Sopore on Tuesday. No loss of life has been reported so far. The area was cordoned off and a detailed search operation has been initiated.

The attack took place after Pakistani troops on Monday violated ceasefire by firing at the Indian post in Karnah area of Jammu and Kashmir, according to officials privy to the matter.

Elsewhere, two Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists were eliminated on Tuesday morning during an encounter with the military in Handwara village of Kupwara district, media reports have said. Both terrorists were believed to be local operatives who joined the outfit recently. The two have been identified as Liyaqat from Harwan in Baramulla district’s Sopore and 18-year-old Furkaan from Langate in Kupwara district’s Handwara, India Today reported.

The forces were alerted about their presence in the area, following which the Army conducted a search operation in Galoora.

Last month, three terrorists were killed by the Army during an infiltration bid in the Tangdhar sector of Kupwara.

People need to feel the difference

If you want to see he unprofessionalism of IA demonstrated look no further.

Some soldiers wearing patkas, some with ACH with covers some with ACH without covers, some with ACHs without covers but painted in some ad hoc fashion.

Then you have some soldiers wearing the normal field load carriers, some wearing black plate carriers, some wearing different PCs with MARPAT pattern.

Then you have the frankly ridiculous sight of the AKs being painted like auto rickshaws! Some with blue some, some with yellow some even with pink!


Does this army really look like it belongs to the world’s 5th largest economy? To one that consumes $20bn/year?

Indian Army’s Rashtriya Rifles HQ Shifts From Delhi to Srinagar?
Why is the Indian Army planning to move the Rashtriya Rifles headquarters from Delhi to Srinagar?

The Rashtriya Rifles headquarter, which supervises the thrust against terrorists in the volatile Kashmir region might be shifted from the Indian capital, New Delhi, to Srinagar due to frequent terrorist activities and cross-border intrusions.

A key cog in the anti-terror operations of the Indian Army, Rashtriya Rifles might soon find its headquarter in Srinagar. The Indian Army is carrying its biggest ever restructuring exercise to make it more lethal by growing efficiency and plug the gaps in personnel distribution.

The change in the headquarters will elevate the decision making and the execution of operations against terrorism. For example, the Assam Rifles, which has 45 Battalions and maintains the internal security in the Northeast and along the Myanmar Borders, has its headquarters in Shillong.

The Rashtriya Rifles is a counterinsurgency force having 65 battalions and is comprised soldiers deputed from other army units. “It is logical that the head of the force is closer to the formation for quick decision making,” said an officer. The study is all-encompassing with its mandate covering every department and setup which includes the important Directorate Military Operations and the Military Intelligence.

The Army Chief, General Bipin Rawat, has said that although there is sufficient personnel stationed at each headquarter, an insufficiency of troops arises in the battalions. In an attempt to counter this lapse, the army is planning to do away with the headquarters at the Brigades level.

Top JeM terrorist killed in Sopore encounter, total 37 members of terror outfit shot dead this year

SRINAGAR: In a big blow to Pakistan-backed terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), the security forces on Thursday killed one of its oldest active members in the Kashmir Valley in an encounter in Sopore.

According to reports, the security forces, in two separate encounters – one in Sopore in north Kashmir and the other in Kakriyal belt of Jammu – killed at least five hardcore terrorists after a fierce gunbattle.

The slain JeM terrorist, who was killed in the Sopore encounter in north Kashmir along with another terrorist, was identified as 'Ali'. He was the oldest and one of the most active JeM terrorists in the area.

Ali was killed in the fierce gunbattle in Sopore - the apple town of the Kashmir Valley, which began following specific inputs about their presence from the intelligence agencies.

A heavy exchange of fire erupted between the security forces and the terrorists after they were surrounded from all sides after the J&K Police cordoned off a house in the Chinkipora area.

The terrorists opened indiscriminate fire on the security forces after that the were trapped from all sides and there was no escape route for them.

In the ensuing gunfight, the security personnel killed Ali alias Athar and Zia-ur-Rehman.

The two slain terrorists were members of the JeM and Pakistani nationals, police said.

Ali, who had infiltrated into the Kashmir Valley in 2014, was one of the oldest members of the Jaish-e-Mohammed and was involved in the killing of civilians, attacks on security forces and detonating Improvised Explosive Devices in north Kashmir.

Ali was also the mastermind of the IED explosion in January this year in which four policemen were killed, the officials said.

At least thirty-seven terrorists of the Jaish-e-Mohammed have been killed by the security forces this year. Mufti Waqas, the terror group's chief operation commander, and Mehmood, its north Kashmir commander were among the top JeM terrorists killed by the security forces.

During today's gunfight, the civilians were evacuated from the encounter site to safer areas before engaging the terrorists.

A large cache of arms and ammunition and some incriminating document were also recovered from the slain terrorists from the encounter site.

Police also recovered fake Aadhaar cards from the slain JeM terrorists which might have been used by the duo to conceal their identity.

Surgical strike on Indian Army: After SC docked the Army, hasn’t government failed to protect the saviours of nation


In line of duty, countering insurgency, terrorism, proxy wars, cross-border attacks, engaged in crossfire to save the sovereignty, integrity, security and dignity, thousands of soldiers have laid their lives for India. The fundamental principles with which army officers engage is the Safety, Honour and Welfare of the Country comes first, always. Then comes the honour, welfare and comfort of the men they command and last comes their own.

Soldiers function on the pedestals of faith and belief. Faith in the Indian National Flag and belief in the command of superior officers. The culture is high morale, no questions asked and meticulous performance. As proud Indians, we can never forget the surgical strikes carried out by our soldiers in Pakistan on 29th September 2016, which is just one of the innumerable achievements of Indian soldiers.

Indian soldier would take a fall to honour the Indian Flag but would never let the Flag fall. The value of service of a soldier is always incalculable, unequal and onerous. Laying life in the line of duty is the pride and honour for any soldier. Bravery, clarity, focus, training and ethos are the traits, which make the Indian Army as one of the best in the world.

But what would happen if the officers commanding the soldiers would be full of confusion instead of clear focus? What if the ethos, culture and rules of engagement during insurgency or terror operations come under attack by the highest court itself? Will not the confused minds create more fatalities for our soldiers instead of the insurgent or terrorist enemies?

Confusion in mind divides power, focus and energy. Soldiers of the nation are facing confusion after a Supreme Court Bench, consisting of Justice Madan B. Lokur and Justice Uday Umesh Lalit, passed judgment dated 14th July 2017 in the case of ‘Extra Judl. Exec. Victim Families’ (termed as Manipur Killings case); wherein Supreme Court not only equated the deaths occurred during Army operations with police killings but also declared all such deaths as fake encounters or use of excessive or retaliatory force, and directed the director, CBI to nominate a team of five officers to go through the records of the referred cases, lodge FIRs, complete investigations and prepare chargesheets.

In the aftermath of the above judgment by Supreme Court, despite carrying out bona fide military duty, Major Aditya Kumar was booked in FIR by J&K police, at the behest of stone-pelters under Section 302, 307 & 336 of Ranbir Penal Code (RPC). In direct consequence of the above judgment, CBI registered FIR against Colonel Vijaya Balhara under Section 302 r/w Section 34 of IPC for an operation carried out by him and his team in the year 2009 in Manipur. Back then Colonel Vijay Balhara was Major in Indian Army.

This appears just the beginning of surgical strikes in the camps of Indian Army by the insurgents, terrorists and their families using the omniscient weapon of ‘Human Rights’. Such strikes on soldiers would not only affect the morale of soldiers posted in disturbed areas, but severely affect the morale of entire Armed Forces in India.

The Indian government, which took the credit for surgical strikes in Pakistan, completely failed to stop this surgical strike in the camps of Indian Army. The attitude of the present government has been lax towards armed force personnel. Be it implementation of OROP, NFU or Permanent Commission for Women; the government of the day has totally failed in its duty to redress such important causes for the saviours of the nation.

In contrast, when Supreme Court struck down certain provisions of SC/ST Act; to woo the large vote bank, the government immediately swung into action and brought into SC/ST Amendment Act to counter the judgment passed by Supreme Court. But, to utter dismay and shock, the government found no soft corner for soldiers of the nation.

Recently during the month of August 2018, in an unprecedented development, 356 Indian Army Officers in the Ranks of Section Commanders to Commanding Officers of Section, Platoon, Company and Battalion, leading 10 to 1000 soldiers, filed writ petition titled as Col Amit Kumar & others versus Union of India & others, before the Supreme Court of India, raising vital questions of national importance pertaining to security, sovereignty, integrity of the nation, dignity of national flag. The petition also highlights hostile situation on ground and confusion being faced by soldiers deployed in field areas fighting in counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency operations in J&K and North Eastern states.

It is the contention of these soldiers-petitioners that officers involved in any type of counterinsurgency operations are to be adjudicated within the thin line of distinction between intention and error of judgment, when discharge of their duties has been established. Thus, lodging of FIRs directly under the direction of Supreme Court without ordering a preliminary inquiry to ascertain the facts related to intention, error of judgment or the circumstances, which are committed during line of duties, without giving a fair chance to those personnel, is against the principles of natural justice and scope of Section 4 of the AFSPA, which gives any commissioned officer, warrant officer, non-commissioned officer or any other person of equivalent rank in the armed forces a discretion of operating in their respective counterinsurgency operations.

In the same line, when a soldier dies while safeguarding the nation, his family never lodges a complaint for death to be put to a test of ordinary Criminal Justice System, but the same is given the status of martyrdom. It is the apprehension of soldiers that discharge of duties, in the disturbed areas, would now be under a legal quandary and soldiers would be in a fix as to whether they should let the terrorists kill them or kill the terrorists and later be prosecuted and punished for the same under the ordinary criminal law. This petition was later joined 383 more soldiers showing similar concerns. More and more soldiers, including Major General ranked officer, are joining this fight before Supreme Court to counter this surgical strike on Indian Army.

The decision by Supreme Court appears to be defective as all such cases should only be dealt by Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT), which is the statutory and competent forum to try and decide cases pertaining to soldiers. It appears imminent that guidelines to protect soldiers operating in insurgency, militancy and proxy war situations in disturbed areas be revisited and reinforced.

Indian Army appears to be seriously considering recalibration of its counterinsurgency strategy in the militancy-hit northeast in the wake of over-cautious approach being adopted by its field units in the region. It is a cause of great concern that casualty figures of the soldiers are rising in Manipur, since the passing of above judgment by Supreme Court. Further, there has been a marked slowdown in the intensity of operations against militants in the state. The situation is not only grim but contains serious potential threat to the sovereignty and integrity of the nation.

To conclude, I must say that the Indian government will have to cure its failure in this respect urgently and earnestly step in and step up its role in providing required safeguards for the saviours of the nation. If the morale, discipline and conviction of our forces would break, the nation and its citizens would also not be safe, leave aside the Indian government!
