Doda district, which had been cleared of terrorism in 2005, has recently witnessed a troubling resurgence of violent incidents.

The district has seen a series of deadly attacks.

This year alone 27 people have been killed in nearly a dozen terror attacks across six districts in Jammu province.

The casualties include 11 security personnel, a village defence guard, and five terrorists.

The spate of attacks has not spared civilians either.

On June 9, seven yatris returning from the Shiv Khori temple in Reasi district were among those killed in the wave of terror.

The escalation in violence has prompted heightened security measures and a renewed focus on counter-terrorism efforts in the Jammu region.

The Police’s call for public assistance underscores the gravity of the situation and the need for community involvement in identifying and apprehending those responsible for the attacks.

The announcement of the cash reward is part of a broader strategy to encourage residents to come forward with any information that could help in the fight against terrorism.
