Today's was the second selective attack on security forces in Kashmir Valley during the last couple of months.
Earlier on September 13, two decorated army officers including a colonel and a major, and a deputy superintendent of police lost their lives when terrorists ambushed a party of security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district.
OCAPS vehicles launched to strengthen police stations in J&K
Jammu and Kashmir Police launched the Operational Capacity Augmentation of Police Stations (OCAPS) to strengthen the 43 police stations with the latest weaponry and gadgetry for our Peace and Stability Teams (PSTs).
In the first phase, 21 police stations were covered and later remaining 22 police stations were covered on Saturday. These police stations are being covered under zero terror plans.
The command vehicles being deputed with the police stations are equipped with all modern gadgets which will be extremely useful during different anti-insurgency operations.
The police stations covered under OCAPS will have the latest weaponry and drone availability besides a 14-member squad each for tackling terror incidents. With the deputation of these squads, the area domination would be further strengthened.
