Banned terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists have moved from their hideouts to locations near populated areas fearing retaliation from security forces, Indian Army sources said.

Sources revealed that the Army is constantly briefing Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and other senior government functionaries on the developments in Kashmir, after the dastardly Pulwama terror attack.

Pakistan Army positions across the border on the Line of Control (LoC) are seeing heightened activities as they are on high operational alert, the sources said.

This major development came after the 40 CRPF personnel were killed in Awantipora area of Pulwama district in an attack orchestrated by Jaish-e-Mohammed.

The convoy of 78 buses, in which around 2500 CRPF personnel were traveling from Jammu to Srinagar, came under attack at around 3.15 pm at Ladhu Modi Lethpora on February 14. -- ANI
