The Jammu and Kashmir Police have launched a major crackdown across the Kashmir Valley after the recent terror blast in Delhi. More than three dozen people have been detained for questioning as part of the investigation. According to officials, some of those taken into custody are government employees.

Security checks and surveillance have been tightened across the region, with new checkpoints set up in different areas to monitor movement. Earlier in the day, the Counter-Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) unit conducted raids at 13 locations linked to the blast case.

Investigators said the discovery of a "white-collar" terror network involving local doctors has complicated the probe. They added that without solid intelligence, it is difficult for security forces to act against individuals who appear to lead normal, professional lives.

The revelation that educated and financially stable professionals, including doctors, were involved in terrorism has deeply shocked the local community. Many honest professionals now worry that the actions of a few could damage their reputation and create unnecessary hardships.

Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has assured that innocent people will not be harassed, but those with proven terror connections will face strict action. The exposure of this "white-collar" terror network has reinforced the administration's earlier decision to dismiss government employees linked to extremist activities.

Meanwhile, several political parties, including the ruling National Conference, have criticized the Lt Governor's strong measures, accusing the administration of being too harsh in its approach toward suspected employees.
