Inputs Warn of Multiple Attacks on Forces- CRPF Advised to Carry Lethal Arms: Report

The Government forces have received multiple intelligence inputs issued last week that cautioned against Militant attacks on security forces in Kashmir, News18.com reported.

The report added that the input shared by ground units and agencies was not specific and carried general details of suspected attacks on Government forces.

Three policemen were killed and 11 others injured in a deadly strike on a bus carrying personnel from the Jammu Kashmir Armed Police in the Zewan area of Srinagar.

The input, as per the report, was issued last week and hint out that Militants had planned attacks using vehicle-borne IEDs, like the one used in the 2019 Pulwama attack. The input, reviewed by News18.com, had also warned over a possible attack on security forces and their informers.

The inputs have also warned about possible attacks on non-locals in central Kashmir.

The CRPF had shared an SOP with security forces last month that advised carrying lethal arms at all times. “Security drills should be conducted and loopholes should be covered if any. QAT (Quick Action Team) to be kept ready to counter any attack on camps or troops,” the security instructions say.
