(c): The reason for increase in terror attack is due to stepping up of the attack on Security Forces planned by the militant groups in the aftermath of Afzal Guru’s execution in February, 2013. In most of the cases of casualties, the laxity and non adherence of SOP’s by the Security Forces have also been evident.
(d): Law & order is a State Subject. The deployment of Security Forces at any point of time is a matter of review of threat perception at the highest operational levels in the Central and the State Government. The quantum of security forces and its deployment would vary accordingly to the overall security situation.
