    Why does this story matter?

    In May, news agency PTI had quoted the Army as saying that at least 168 terrorists were operating in Jammu and Kashmir this year. Nearly 75, including 21 foreign mercenaries, were killed in encounters with security forces this year. Eleven terrorists were killed in encounters and 12 infiltration bids were foiled in the vicinity of the Line of Control in the past 11 months.
