2014 saw slight decline in casualties of security forces in JK -------- Srinagar | 2014 was perceived to be “challenging” for the security grid in Jammu and Kashmir in view of the US announcement of troop pull-out from Afghanistan and two elections in the state but the number of casualties suffered by the security forces decreased slightly. While number of militants killed in the counter-insurgency operations rose by 10 per cent to 110, number of security personnel killed dropped from 61 last year to 51 this year. The year began on a violent note when Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police Kafeel Ahmad was killed and three policemen were injured in an encounter on 7 January between security forces and militants in Sopore township of north Kashmirs Baramulla district. A Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant was also killed in an encounter in Beighpora area of Awantipora town in Pulwama district of south Kashmir, the same day. Via PTI
