Calls for probe into possible intelligence breach, seeks recruitment of 12 local youths as SPOs
Jammu, Nov. 14 (ITN) : Kishtwar MLA Shagun Parihar has raised serious concerns over a possible intelligence leak preceding the killing of two Special Police Officers (SPOs) in Dachhan area, alleging that information about their movements may have reached terrorists through local informants.
Demanding a thorough investigation, Parihar called for the identification and immediate arrest of those suspected of compromising sensitive security information, stressing that accountability must be fixed in such serious cases.
She also advocated the recruitment of 12 youths from the affected village as SPOs to strengthen the local security network and improve intelligence gathering.
The alleged security breach comes amid growing concerns over recurring militant attacks and targeted killings in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly in areas where security personnel and civilians remain vulnerable.
The disturbing pattern of attacks raises serious questions about intelligence coordination, ground-level surveillance and the effectiveness of existing security arrangements. Repeated incidents cannot be dismissed as isolated security lapses; they demand a comprehensive review of the intelligence mechanism, stronger coordination among security agencies and accountability wherever negligence or information leaks are established.
While counter-terror operations remain crucial, equal importance must be given to protecting vulnerable personnel, developing reliable local intelligence networks and ensuring that those facilitating militant activities face swift legal action.
The security of Jammu and Kashmir cannot be left to reactive measures alone; prevention, preparedness and institutional accountability must become the foremost priorities.
