Operation Maa

Indian Army's 'Operation Maa' weans away 60 youth of Jammu and Kashmir from terror groups

The programme -- `Operation Maa` -- was launched by Chinar Corps (15 Corps) of the Indian Army in Jammu and Kashmir in February, soon after Lieutenant General KJS Dhillon was appointed its commander. "The basic objective behind the programme is to ensure that youth indoctrinated into terrorism by Pakistan-backed terror groups are brought back into the fold of mainstream society. The programme has been designed to help rehabilitate only the local youth of the Valley who have chosen the path of terrorism," a senior Army officer told IANS.
