Local recruitment, though lower than previous years, continues to be the focus area of the security and intelligence agencies."The effort is to engage with the vulnerable youth and target the OGW network engaged in the recruitment process. The recruitment is higher in some pockets where synergised counter actions are being executed," the statement said.The officials also shared continued focus on vehicles of dubious antecedents as they are used for transportation of arms and contraband, and also can be used for vehicle based IEDs."The efforts of some outfits to use variety of IEDs are being proactively countered.
