There has been a sustained effort by Pakistain's ISI to keep the Valley on the boil.
The number of assassinations especially of minorities has gone up in the past couple of days.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah will chair a high-level meeting today to discuss the situation in Jammu and Kashmir

...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
and also take steps to restore normality. Officials tell OneIndia that Shah will direct the civil administration to take more steps to secure the minority community.
The police on the other hand would involve the Station House Officers (SHO) of the local cop shoppes.
This would mean that the SHO would play a bigger role in the security of the civilians in Jammu and Kashmir. This was a strategy that was used in the late 80s and 90s in Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....
and it helped the administration wipe out the Khalistan movement from the state.
The involvement of the SHOs of the local cop shoppes in counter terror operations would be of great help in solving the problem. The SHOs have their ears closer to the ground and this would help a great deal in gathering intelligence, the official cited above said.
Involving the local police at the lowest levels has also helped in eradicating several top gunnies in the Valley. The huge success rate at which the gunnies have been shot full of holes is thanks to the cooperation from the J&K police and the actionable intelligence they provided.
Further the civil administration in J&K would also be more discreet so as to ensure that the innocent civilians are not identified. This would help to ensure that these individuals are not singled out and targeted.
The meetings will be headed by Union Home Minister, Amit Shah and will be attended by National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, J&K Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha, the Intelligence chiefs and the chief secretary and Director General of Police, Jammu and Kashmir.
The prime focus of the meeting tomorrow would be on the assassinations and also on how to secure the minority community. There have been 8 assassinations since May, including one of a bank manager which took place today.
An official tells OneIndia that these assassinations orchestrated by the ISI backed Lashkar-e-Tayiba is clearly aimed at driving fear and ensure that the minorities are driven out of the Union Territory.
