A Prolonged Security Mission in Kashmir, Operation Akhal, underway in the Kulgam district of Jammu & Kashmir, has now entered its 11th day, making it one of the lengthiest ongoing security missions in recent years. Carried out by a joint team of the Indian Army, CRPF, and J\&K Police, the operation reflects the persistence and determination of the forces in dealing with threats in high-altitude, challenging terrain.
How the Operation Began
The mission was launched after specific intelligence inputs indicated the presence of armed elements in the upper reaches of Kulgam. The terrain marked by dense forests, rocky slopes, and narrow ridges has slowed down progress, requiring careful, phased movement by the forces. The objective has been clear: to ensure full area security while preventing any possibility of escape for the suspects.
Why Operation Akhal is Taking Longer Than Usual
Unlike short-duration encounters, Operation Akhal involves a vast search area spanning multiple ridges and villages. Weather changes, poor visibility, and the need for precision in locating hideouts have extended the mission timeline. The prolonged nature also points to the preparedness of the forces to hold ground for as long as required to achieve their objectives.
