Winter Watch. Indian forces have launched a strategic 40-day operation in Jammu & Kashmir. Here are 5 facts about the counter-terror push.
1. The Operation
Security forces have initiated a coordinated 40-day counter-terror operation across sensitive districts in Jammu and Kashmir, specifically timed for the winter months.
2. The Timing
The push coincides with Chilla-i-Kalan (Dec 21–Jan 31), the region’s harshest winter phase. Historically, this period is used by infiltrators to establish logistics under the cover of heavy snow.
3. The Goal
The objective is preventive: to intercept infiltration attempts and dismantle logistical networks now, thereby reducing the capability for attacks when snow melts in the spring.
4. The Strategy
Forces are targeting “logistical lifelines”—food, communications, and hideouts—and increasing surveillance on high-altitude passes, shifting from reactive to preemptive tactics.
5. The Challenge
Operations are being conducted in temperatures dropping to -15°C. Extreme cold, avalanches, and whiteout conditions pose significant physical risks to personnel and equipment.
