Further details on this are awaited, said officials said. Terrorist activities have increased during the last fortnight in J&K. The intelligence agencies are attributing this to the last-ditch efforts by the terrorists to derail the peace in J&K. With the Centre to soon begin the process of holding the Assembly elections in the UT, the terror elements are trying to create disturbances.
