Terrorist Hideouts and Trekking Trails: A Troubling Convergence The news that a terrorist hideout has been busted in Poonch district, Jammu and Kashmir, highlights the delicate balance between security operations and outdoor enthusiasts.
The convergence of these two worlds raises uncomfortable questions about the risks faced by hikers, trekkers, and campers. The hideout was set up in a cave in Bhoriwala dhok, a remote village in Surankote tehsil.
The discovery of two magazines of an AK assault rifle, 117 rounds of ammunition, and 17 rounds of 9mm pistol ammunition sends a chill down the spine for those who have spent hours navigating the same terrain.
