Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed back-to-back encounters and terror attacks, with most of the incidents occurring in the Jammu region.
Today, the Indian Army repulsed a major attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district. A soldier was injured in the attack at an army camp, suggest initial reports. The security forces launched a massive search operation to flush out terrorists after the attack, said a defence spokesman.
The attack was reported less than 24 hours after Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi visited Jammu and discussed measures to deal with the dramatic spurt in major terrorist attacks on the army in the region that was free from terrorism till a few years ago.
The Jammu and Kashmir Police have launched a major crackdown on terror networks after the deadly encounter in Doda in which four Indian Army soldiers, including an officer, were killed in action during an encounter with terrorists.
The Indian Army is also readjusting its deployments in the area as per intelligence inputs and security requirements.
The Army has deployed around 500 Para Special Forces commandos in the area to hunt down the 50-55 terrorists from Pakistan who have entered the region to revive terrorism there, defence sources told news agency ANI.
The Army has already brought in troops to the area including one brigade strength of around 3,500-4000 personnel to counter Pakistan's proxy aggression here, they said.
