These attacks are happening even when assembly elections can be held in Jammu and Kashmir any time now.

The gangs of terrorists hiding in the dense forests attack together and hide back in the forest. The army has to launch a big operation to remove them but the central government does not take any decision.
Also, the surprising thing is that many incidents of attacks were coming to the fore in the Kashmir Valley, but this time the terrorists have changed the place and increased the attacks in the Jammu region. There was peace in Jammu province between 2005 and 2021, the same area has been held hostage by terrorists for the last one month. Just a few days ago, terrorists attacked a bus of devotees returning from Vaishnodevi in which 10 devotees were killed and 40 were injured. Terrorist incidents have started increasing in Rajouri and Poonch of Jammu bordering Pakistan since October 2021. These attacks in Reasi, Kathua and now Doda are among the biggest terrorist attacks.
In Jammu province alone, 70 people including 52 security personnel have been killed in terrorist attacks since 2021. Most of the martyred security personnel are army personnel. The highest number of deaths were seen in Rajouri and Poonch districts. During this period, the army has killed a total of 54 terrorists in both the districts. Amidst the ever-increasing terrorist attacks, the army said that the Udaipur Army Command is committed to eliminate terrorists from Jammu and Kashmir.

Rahul said that terrorist attacks one after the other are very sad, soldiers and their families are becoming victims due to the wrong policies of BJP. Strict action should be taken against the attackers.
After this attack, Asaduddin Owaisi has raised the question that Prime Minister Narendra Modi used to say that he will kill terrorists by entering their homes, then what is happening? Modi used to say big things but people are seeing the failure of his government. The attack has happened far away from the LoC in Doda.
Terrorists also have American carbines and bullets, but the government is silent!
In every recent attack in Jammu and Kashmir, terrorists have used high-strength steel-made armor-piercing bullets and lightweight M4 carbine guns. These guns and bullets were used by US and NATO troops to fight against the Taliban in Afghanistan. India should raise the issue with the US as to where the terrorists spreading terror in Jammu and Kashmir got these carbines and bullets from, but the government is silent.
