In 2025, the border districts of Poonch and Rajouri in Jammu and Kashmir experienced a notable decline in terror-related incidents. This comes as security forces ramped up their counterterrorism operations, leading to the busting of multiple terrorist hideouts and confiscation of arms and explosives, senior police officials reported on Wednesday.

The campaign against narco-terror also saw significant achievements, with police dismantling several drug trafficking networks. They seized large quantities of narcotics, including heroin smuggled across the border, demonstrating a strong stand against drug-related crimes, police officials revealed during a press conference.
