India On High Alert: Pakistan-Backed Terror Resurgence Threatens Winter Peace In Kashmir

<p>New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) India must brace for a chilling winter as Pakistan-backed terror networks regroup across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, and intelligence warns of renewed fidayeen strikes and narco-financed insurgency.</p> <p>Six months after Operation Sindoor scorched the terror grid in Jammu and Kashmir, fresh intelligence accessed by NDTV and corroborated by multiple agencies paints a grim portrait of Pakistan&rsquo;s renewed proxy war.</p> <p>Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), long-time instruments of Islamabad&rsquo;s covert aggression, are reportedly mobilising for a new wave of coordinated strikes, aided by Pakistan&rsquo;s Special Services Group (SSG) and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).</p> <p>Since September, infiltration routes along the Line of Control (LoC) have witnessed a surge in activity. Drones buzzed over vulnerable ridges, operated by a LeT unit led by the notorious Shamsher, mapping gaps for potential fidayeen-style assaults or aerial weapon drops.</p> <p>Intelligence intercepts suggest Pakistan&rsquo;s Border Action Teams (BATs) -- a lethal mix of ex-SSG commandos and trained terrorists -- have been redeployed across Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK), signalling a possible escalation in cross-border raids.</p> <p>October&rsquo;s clandestine conclaves in PoK, attended by Jamaat-e-Islami, Hizbul Mujahideen, and ISI brass, reportedly finalised plans to revive dormant terror cells.</p> <p>Monthly stipends for ex-commanders, reactivation orders for sleeper modules, and directives to avenge Operation Sindoor losses were issued.</p> <p>The ISI, facing diplomatic isolation and domestic unrest, appears to be doubling down on its old playbook: exporting instability to derail India&rsquo;s peace.</p> <p>A dangerous new front is emerging. LeT operatives are rebuilding their human intelligence network across the Kashmir Valley, mapping local sympathisers and assets. Parallel narco-terror and arms smuggling routes -- eerily reminiscent of Punjab and Rajasthan&rsquo;s recent patterns -- are being expanded to fund operations.</p> <p>The timing is ominous; India&rsquo;s Trishul Tri-service exercise unfolds on western borders, while winter&rsquo;s approach traditionally curtails infiltration. Yet, analysts warn, this year may defy that trend.</p> <p>New Delhi has sounded the alarm. Officials describe the intelligence as a &ldquo;critical warning,&rdquo; with the Northern Command on high alert.</p> <p><a title="Operation Sindoor" href="https://ift.tt/WqkwJ04" data-type="interlinkingkeywords">Operation Sindoor</a>, which earlier dismantled LeT and TRF modules, may soon enter a renewed phase.</p> <p>The stakes are high -- not just for territorial integrity, but for the promise of normalcy that local elections and returning tourists have begun to restore. As the valley braces for what could be a long winter of terror, the question isn&rsquo;t whether Pakistan will strike -- it's when, and how.</p> <p>The silence along the LoC may yet be broken by the echo of another fidayeen charge, another drone drop, another test of India&rsquo;s firm resolve to maintain peace.</p> <p><em><strong>(Disclaimer: This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.
