After the surgical strikes conducted by Indian forces in Azad Kashmir, intelligence agencies have a mammoth task at hand. The festival season is round the corner and that represents an opportunity for the terrorists to strike back.
Sources in home ministry say the militants who are already in the Valley are hoping to sneak in and conduct a 'spectacular' strike.
CIVILIANS UNDER THREAT
Intelligence sources also point out that terrorists may target security forces but the possibility of civilians being targeted is not being ruled out. The danger is higher in the Jammu region. Though evacuation of villages from border areas along Jammu and Punjab is being undertaken, there is still a sense of worry that a possible attack in some of the areas along the border might catch the forces off guard.
But what has been a shot in the arm for the security and intelligence wing is the pre-emptive action in many locations targeting the sleeper cells. The NIA, along with the state police forces and the Intelligence Bureau (IB), has targeted many sleeper cells while working on a case involving ISIS suspects.
TERROR CAMPS SHIFTED
There is also a report that terror camps and launchpads along LOC have been shifted back deep inside Azad Kashmir after the surgical strikes.
While India is busy patting its own back, the next few days will be extremely crucial on the security front with Pakistan-based terror groups looking to strike back with vengeance, said a senior officer.
