Indian security agencies identified potential surges in terror activities in Jammu and Kashmir, with intelligence suggesting the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) intended to facilitate the infiltration of 100 to 150 terrorists. Reports indicated that proxy terror groups were targeting Kashmiri Pandits and migrant workers by gathering personal information to issue threats.

In response to these multi-front security threats, India transitioned toward a pre-emptive, intelligence-driven doctrine. This strategy, formalized through the policy for Response against Hostile Activities and Radicalism (PRAHAAR), instructs agencies to neutralize threats before they materialize. Under this doctrine, security officials report that agencies have successfully busted multiple modules and neutralized terrorists despite ongoing efforts by ISI overground worker networks to facilitate infiltrations.
