The terror incident in Reasi, Jammu, on sunday evening resulted in the deaths of nine Hindu pilgrims travelling to vaishno devi and the injuries of another 33 when jihadists opened fire on the bus, causing it to plunge into a ravine. The attack was carried out by the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT). sunday night, the front group of the LeT, TRF, claimed responsibility for the heinous act in an attempt to demonstrate that local terrorists in kashmir - SRINAGAR/JAMMU' target='_blank' title='jammu and kashmir-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">jammu and kashmir, not international Islamists headquartered in Lahore, carried out the terror assault.
 

Top government sources claim that the incident, which occurred during Modi 3.0's swearing-in ceremony in Reasi, was planned and executed. The attackers are estimated to be 12 jihadists who travel in groups of two or three through the Rajouri-Poonch jungles in the Jammu area. Many Pakistani nationals from across the Line of Control are part of this terrorist cell. The indian army and security agencies vehemently deny any chance of a cross-LoC tunnel.
 

The indian army and the jihadists have engaged in several firefights in the Poonch-Rajouri region over the last five years, with a significant number of indian losses as a result of the terrorists' superior surprise and quicker mobility. Given that the amarnath yatra begins on june 29, the Modi administration, especially home minister amit shah, has taken the Reasi incident extremely seriously.
 

The tough and forested terrain of the Rajouri-Poonch area has prevented several counter-insurgency operations from yielding results, even though prime minister Modi personally told the indian army to pull up their socks. There had previously been complaints of a lack of coordination amongst the security forces in the 16 Corps region, which the current Northern army Commander, M v Suchinder Kumar, appears to be addressing.
 

While Bharat will respond to the Reasi attack in a manner appropriate to itself, in order to neutralise this Pakistani organisation, the indian army, the paramilitary forces, and the kashmir - SRINAGAR/JAMMU' target='_blank' title='jammu and kashmir-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">jammu and kashmir police must collaborate to provide actionable intelligence. india is heavily deployed in the kashmir - SRINAGAR/JAMMU' target='_blank' title='jammu and kashmir-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">jammu and kashmir area, yet it cannot afford to lose any soldiers or civilians in the process.
