Contrary to the claims of fading armed resistance in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, New Delhi is deploying Central Reserve Police Force’s Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) in the territory.
This CRPF’s force is known for its expertise in jungle warfare against armed Naxals.

The CoBRA commandos are undergoing rigor-ous training under various units operating in occu-pied Jammu and Kashmir. A senior security officer, while speaking to the Indian newspaper The Tribune stated, “As per the plan, these trained commandos are being deployed in Srinagar with the Valley Quick Action Team (QAT).
“The teams arrived in Kashmir earlier this year and are undergoing all the relevant training.” The existing expertise of CoBRA commandos in jungle warfare is seen as a significant advantage, as no other force currently operating in Kashmir possesses similar experience in such terrain and combat tactics.
