In the wake of the gruesome terror attack at Pahalgam that claimed 26 innocent lives, security forces in Jammu and Kashmir have launched a decisive and aggressive crackdown on the terror ecosystem. Over the past few days, authorities have demolished the houses of nine active terrorists and their close associates across multiple districts, signaling a zero-tolerance policy towards anyone aiding or abetting terrorism.
On Saturday night, three more houses were razed in a coordinated operation. In Shopian district, the house of Adnan Shafi, who had joined terror ranks last year, was brought down at Wandina. In Pulwama district, security forces demolished the residence of Amir Nazir, another active terrorist believed to have played a critical role in facilitating attacks against civilians and security forces. Meanwhile, in Bandipora district, authorities leveled the house of Jameel Ahmad Shergojri, a Lashkar-e-Taiba operative who has been active since 2016 and whose involvement in multiple terror incidents is well documented.
This latest action takes the total number of demolished houses linked to terrorists and their overground workers to nine since the Pahalgam attack. Each demolition underscores the growing evidence that family members and relatives of several terrorists had either tacitly or actively aided them by providing shelter, logistical support, and in many cases, helping plan attacks. Security forces have been meticulously gathering intelligence about such support systems, ensuring that no element within this shadowy network remains untouched.
Sources within the security establishment revealed that a list of several more properties is under scrutiny. These houses, spread across districts like Anantnag, Kulgam, Pulwama, and Baramulla, belong to known overground workers and sympathizers who had been instrumental in extending safe havens, relaying communication, and even storing arms and ammunition for terror groups. Investigators are focusing sharply on the extent of complicity by the families and associates of active terrorists, stressing that no one who compromises national security will be spared.
The Pahalgam attack, which targeted holidaymakers from other parts of India, has dramatically escalated tensions in the region. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a strong message, vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice, declaring that they would be hunted “to the ends of the earth.” His statement reflects the firm resolve at the highest levels of government to dismantle not just the terrorists themselves but the entire ecosystem that enables their existence.
Officials indicated that demolishing the homes of terrorists is not merely symbolic but a strategic move aimed at breaking the morale of terror outfits operating from within Jammu and Kashmir. It serves as a stern warning that providing any form of support to terrorists will have irreversible consequences. The administration is also moving swiftly to attach and seize properties acquired through terror funding, further crippling the financial networks that fuel violence in the region.
Local police and paramilitary forces continue to maintain heightened alertness in sensitive areas, conducting frequent searches and intelligence-led operations to uncover any remaining support structures. Simultaneously, efforts are on to encourage misguided youth to surrender and return to the mainstream, with multiple surrender policies being actively promoted to those willing to abandon violence.
The families of the victims of the Pahalgam attack have been calling for strict action against the perpetrators and their enablers. The administration’s swift action in demolishing terrorist-linked properties is being seen as a direct response to these demands for justice. In the broader strategic sense, it sends a clear signal to Pakistan and terror groups operating across the border that India will not remain passive in the face of provocations.
The evolving situation remains tense, but security agencies are confident that by targeting the infrastructure of terror, including homes, safe houses, and financial assets, they are dealing a decisive blow to terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. With several more properties identified and under the radar, the crackdown is far from over. The message from the government and security forces is unmistakable: terrorism and its support systems will find no refuge in the new Jammu and Kashmir.
