Srinagar, Nov 14: CRPF Director General G.P. Singh on Saturday di-rected officers to intensify counter-insurgency operations across Kashmir, strengthen the security grid and maintain heightened operational readiness to neutralise terrorists and their support networks.
Singh issued the directions while chairing an operational and security review meeting at the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Group Centre in Srinagar, officials said.

The conference was attended by Special DG (Operations) Vitul Kumar, Special DG, J&K Zone, Sandeep Khirwar, IG (Operations), Kashmir Sector, Vineet Brijlal, IG, Srinagar Sector, Pawan Kumar Sharma, senior CRPF officers and ground commanders of Valley-based units.
During the meeting, the DG directed senior officers to intensify counter-insurgency operations, strengthen the security grid and improve real-time coordination among security forces to effectively tackle terrorist elements and their support networks. The discussions also focused on the future course of sustained counter-insurgency operations across the Valley.
Singh felicitated personnel involved in the successful 'Operation Ashdhar' and 'Operation Korag', conducted in Budgam in September 2026, during which two foreign-origin Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists were killed.
Appreciating the professionalism and courage displayed by the troops under challenging terrain conditions, he commended their operational performance and contribution to counter-insurgency efforts in central Kashmir. He observed that intelligence-based operations had strengthened the security framework in the region and reiterated the force's commitment to maintaining peace and stability.
