Pakistan
is
reportedly
reconstructing
terrorist
launchpads
and
training
camps
that
were
dismantled
during
India’s
Operation
Sindoor
in
May.
This
initiative,
supported
by
the
Pakistani
military,
Inter-Services
Intelligence
(ISI),
and
government,
aims
to
restore
these
terror
hubs
primarily
in
Pakistan-occupied
Kashmir
(PoK)
and
nearby
regions.
Intelligence
sources
reveal
that
small,
advanced
terror
facilities
are
being
established
in
dense
forests
along
the
Line
of
Control
(LoC).
This
strategic
move
follows
the
destruction
of
multiple
terror
bases
used
by
groups
like
Lashkar-e-Taiba
(LeT),
Jaish-e-Mohammed
(JeM),
Hizbul
Mujahideen,
and
The
Resistance
Front
(TRF).
Terror
Camps
Rebuilding
Efforts
Underway
The
reconstruction
includes
sites
previously
destroyed
in
areas
such
as
Luni,
Putwal,
Tipu
Post,
Jamil
Post,
Umranwali,
Chaprar
Forward,
Chhota
Chak,
and
Janglora.
These
locations
are
now
being
equipped
with
modern
technologies
to
evade
thermal,
radar,
and
satellite
detection.
New
infrastructure
is
also
emerging
in
Kel,
Sardi,
Dudhnial,
Athmuqam,
Jura,
Lipa,
Pachiban,
Kahuta,
Kotli,
Khuiratta,
Mandhar,
Nikail,
Chamankot,
and
Jankote.
To
avoid
large
gatherings
of
terrorists
vulnerable
to
Indian
airstrikes,
ISI
plans
to
divide
large
camps
into
smaller
units.
Each
mini-camp
will
accommodate
fewer
than
200
terrorists.
These
camps
will
have
dedicated
perimeter
security
managed
by
specially
trained
guards
from
Pakistan
Army
units.
High-Level
Coordination
Between
ISI
and
Terror
Groups
Indian
intelligence
intercepted
communications
indicating
a
high-level
meeting
in
Bahawalpur
involving
senior
commanders
from
Jaish-e-Mohammed
(JeM),
Lashkar-e-Taiba
(LeT),
Hizbul
Mujahideen
(HM),
and
TRF
alongside
ISI
officials.
Bahawalpur
is
known
as
JeM’s
headquarters
and
was
a
target
during
Operation
Sindoor.
The
meeting
focused
on
restructuring
command
chains
and
reallocating
resources.
Recruitment
drives
are
being
initiated
in
both
Pakistan
and
Kashmir
under
ISI
supervision.

with
phrases
like
‘Martyrs
of
Bahawalpur’
displayed
in
several
areas.
Operation
Sindoor:
India’s
Retaliation
Operation
Sindoor
was
launched
by
India
following
the
April
22
Pahalgam
terror
attack
that
killed
26
people.
It
targeted
infrastructure
linked
to
major
terror
groups
across
PoK
without
crossing
the
Line
of
Control
or
international
boundary.
Indigenous
drones
and
long-range
guided
weapons
were
deployed.
The
Indian
Air
Force
played
a
crucial
role
by
jamming
Chinese-supplied
Pakistani
air
defence
systems
during
precision
strikes
executed
within
23
minutes.
Intelligence
inputs
from
at
least
ten
ISRO-operated
satellites
were
vital
for
identifying
high-value
targets.
Satellite
imagery
from
Maxar
Technologies
showed
extensive
damage
at
nine
terror-linked
sites
including
Markaz
Subhan
Allah
compound
in
Bahawalpur
and
Markaz
Taiba
complex
in
Muridke-training
centres
for
JeM
and
LeT
respectively.
