Under this, we have already put in place whatever actions are required from our side.” Adding that there is still some presence of training activity in camps, he said, “I would like to inform you that, based on the information we have, nearly eight camps are still active to our knowledge.

Following the heinous Pahalgam terror attack in May 2025, which killed 26 tourists, India accused The Resistance Front, an offshoot of Pakistan-based terror group Laskhar-e-Taiba, of the attack. While TRF and Pakistan denied the claim, India proceeded to carry out military strikes across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
