India Deploys 10,000 Troops in Insurgency-Hit Kashmir

The Indian government is moving 10,000 paramilitary forces to the troubled northern state of Jammu and Kashmir to strengthen anti-insurgency operations.
The decision to send the troops came after National Security Adviser Ajit Doval returned from a visit to the Muslim-majority Kashmir valley, where he had reviewed the security situation with senior officials.
An order issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs said the additional forces were being deployed to strengthen the "counter-insurgent grid" and maintain law and order.
Troops were being airlifted from various parts of the country to the strife-torn state.
The troop deployment comes amid a security offensive by Indian forces and a call by al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri for Islamist militants to step up attacks in the region.
The Indian government has never released any figures, but unofficial estimates indicate the presence of between 300,000 and 500,000 troops in Jammu and Kashmir, including paramilitary and police forces.
The disputed Himalayan region is claimed by both India and Pakistan.
