Shockwaves hit across the Kashmir valley on November 12, 2025, as police launched a massive crackdown on the banned organisation Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI). Security forces conducted raids at several spots in the districts of Shopian, Kulgam, Baramulla, and Ganderbal. The police swooped down on the homes and premises of JeI members and their close associates in a planned operation. Officials made it clear this was no ordinary exercise—it is part of a hard-hitting drive to dismantle the terrorist ecosystem and the support groups that help it survive at the grassroots level. An official statement said, "The raids and searches were carried out at the residences and premises of JeI members and their associates." The police are working round the clock to crush terror networks in these troubled regions. This police strike on the Jamaat-e-Islami is a sign of the authorities' zero tolerance for terror activities. The operation was still going on at the time of reporting, and further details were awaited. The crackdown comes amid long-standing concerns about the role of banned outfits in stirring unrest in Jammu and Kashmir. With this action, the security forces have sent a clear and loud message: they are determined to break the backbone of terror groups hiding in plain sight. As the operation unfolds, all eyes remain on the valley, hoping for peace and stability to return soon.
