STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
With the advent of summer and melting of snow the tendency of the militants and subversive elements of the valley to get across the border for smuggling of arms. ammunition and explosives and training in subversive activities is on the increase. The security forces deployed have to pursue the infiltrators and nab them inside the valley. Concerted and co-ordinated efforts by the State police and security forces to intercept the infiltrators , search for and take action against arms dumps by the militants and subversive elements are required so as to counter the designs of the secessionist elements. In the context of the prevailing situation in the valley, it was found necessary to empower the security forces with additional powers to assist the civil administration in containing the terrorism. To meet this situation the Armed Forces (Jammu and Kashmir) Special Powers Ordinance, 1990 (3 of 1990) was promulgated on the 5th July, 1990.
