A grenade explosion in a bustling market in Srinagar, Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), left 12 individuals injured, highlighting the persistent failures of India’s security apparatus. The incident, which occurred near the TRC in the Sunday Market area, resulted in minor injuries from splinters, with all victims promptly transported to a nearby hospital. Fortunately, their conditions are reported as stable.

India’s ill-equipped security apparatus

In the aftermath of the blast, Indian forces cordoned off the area in an attempt to apprehend the perpetrators. However, this reactive measure underscores a glaring inadequacy in preemptive security strategies.

The recurring violence in this region raises serious questions about the effectiveness of India’s intelligence and law enforcement agencies, which appear ill-equipped to protect civilians in high-risk zones.

Failed governance structure

The failure to prevent such attacks not only endangers lives but also reflects poorly on the governance and accountability of security forces in Jammu and Kashmir. As violence continues unabated, the need for a reevaluation of security measures becomes increasingly urgent to ensure the safety and stability of the region.
