What makes this attack more daring than Uri is that Nagrota is the Corps headquarters, in charge of the entire Jammu region, located 39 kilometres from the border. Initial reports suggest that the three fidayeen could not have carried out this daring operation without local help, both for infiltration and intel about the interior topography of 16 Corps. The fact that the terrorists got past all the security checks for 39 kilometres raises questions if the fortified barricades and checkpoints are merely for optics. What is even more worrying is that the 16 Corps perimeter security was so easily breached, allowing the fidayeen to go deep inside.
