Post-Pahalgam Attack, Army Prepares for Tough Valley Winter

As winter approaches in Kashmir, the Indian Army is reinforcing its strategy following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam. With snowfall set to seal key mountain passes, the Army is focused on securing infiltration routes and enhancing troop redeployment across the Valley. Learning from past operations, the emphasis this year is on integrating ground-level human intelligence with improved technical surveillance. The Pahalgam attack has prompted a reevaluation of standard procedures, leading to increased coordination between intelligence agencies and forces on the ground. Sources indicate that the Army will maintain a robust presence in forward areas to counter any attempts by infiltrators before the snow blocks critical access routes. Enhanced drone surveillance, night-vision monitoring, and local informant networks are being prioritized. The upcoming winter is being seen not just as a logistical challenge, but a critical test of preparedness and adaptability in counter-insurgency operations.
