SRINAGAR: Over 190 people, including 47 security personnel and 108 militants, were killed in militancy-related violence and ceasefire violations by Pakistan in the 12-month period from Januray 15 last year.
About 800 persons were also arrested, while four magisterial inquiries have been ordered into the incidents of militancy during the same period, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti said in a written reply to a question by opposition National Conference leader A M Sagar in the Legislative Assembly here.
Mehbooba, who also holds the Home portfolio, said a total of 146 militancy-related incidents took place between January 15, 2015 to January 15, 2016, leaving 169 people - 108 militants, 39 security personnel and 22 civilians - dead.
A total of 181 incidents of border firing were reported during the same period in the state which left 22 persons including eight security personnel dead and 75 others, including 13 security men injured, she said.
Mehbooba said the four south Kashmir districts of Anantnag, Pulwama, Kulgam and Shopian accounted for the highest number of incidents of militancy (61), resulting in the death of 54 persons including 12 security men and 34 militants.
However, the three north Kashmir districts of Kupwara, Baramulla and Bandipora which share border with Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, witnessed almost double the number of fatalities compared to south Kashmir districts in such incidents.
