Details of Army personnel of different ranks killed in Jammu and Kashmir during the last three years upto Nov 2004 is 102 for officers, 118 for Junior Commissioned Officers and 1355 for other ranks.
There has been no spurt in violence in Jammu and Kashmir.
The current multi pronged counter proxy war strategy, incorporating a strong counter infiltration posture, relentless operations in the hinterland and winning hearts and minds of the local populace, adopted by the Army has proved to be highly successful. Infiltration of terrorists has been reduced due to counter infiltration measures, which include multi-tired deployment, construction of the fence along the Line of Control and integration of state of the art surveillance devices. The success notwithstanding, the Army continually reviews its strategy to deal with terrorists, based on the ground situation.
This information was given by the Defence Minister Shri Pranab Mukherjee in a written reply to Shri MAM Ramaswamy in Rajya Sabha today.
