Srinagar, July 20 (GNS): Government on Wednesday said 128 security force personnel and 118 civilians have been killed by militants in Jammu and Kashmir from 5 August 2019, when ruling NDA government annulled J&K’s Special status and split the State into two Union Territories, till 9 July this year.

“The Government has a policy of zero tolerance against (militancy) and the security situation has improved significantly in Jammu and Kashmir,” Rai said in the reply, a copy of which lies with GNS.

“There has been substantial decline in (militant) attacks from 417 in 2018 to 229 in 2021,” he said, adding, “From August 5, 2019 till 9th July, 2022, 128 security force personnel and 118 civilians have been killed by (militants) in Jammu and Kashmir. Out of 118 civilians killed, he said, 5 were Kashmiri Pandits and 16 belonged to other Hindu/Sikh communities. “No Pilgrim has been killed during this period,” he said.
