The TRF statement, accessed by News18, said: “Those targeted were not ordinary tourists, instead, they were linked to and affiliated with Indian Security Agencies, including the Intelligence Bureau (IB), Research & Analysis Wing (RAW), the Navy and other governmental personnel. This group was facilitated by Delhi, not to tour the Kashmir valley, but to analyze the ground situation. Additionally, some foreign personnel were part of this Delhi-sponsored group.

- Limiting decision-making authority for local officials in government departments..
- Terminating local employees.
- Acquiring land under various security pretexts.

So they said the Resistance Fighters plan to intensify their strategic attacks to ensure that “those involved in undermining the Jammu and Kashmir resistance struggle face appropriate consequences".
The Indian intelligence agencies have now issued terror attack threats for non-locals in Jammu and Kashmir, sources told CNN-News18. As per the sources, the agencies have issued an advisory warning the tourists, non locals, Kashmiri Pandits, police personnel, and railway employees.
The advisory says that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and associated terrorist organisations have been planning to carry out more attacks specifically targeting tourists/non locals, police personnel, and Kashmiri Pandits—particularly in Srinagar and Ganderbal districts in the valley, sources said.
