At present, about 300 militants are operating in the state, of which about 180 are locals and 120 are of foreign origin. With the quick elimination of new entrants, the insurgency in J & K is not likely to prolong. Pakistan knows it very well that in absence of local action, the only course left to sustain the insurgency in J&K is to keep sending well-trained militants from Pakistan and this trend is clearly visible.
