NEW DELHI, June 17 (Xinhua) -- The Indian government on Sunday announced to resume security operations against terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir after a month-long ceasefire during the holy Ramazan fasting season.

The Ramazan fasting period ended Saturday with the celebration of the festival of Eid.

In a series of tweets Sunday, the country's Home Minister (internal security) Rajnath Singh said that the security forces in Jammu and Kashmir are being directed to take "all necessary actions as earlier" to prevent terrorists from launching attacks and indulging in violence and killings.

On May 17, Indian government ordered security forces to suspend offensive operations in the area during the holy month of Ramazan.

The minister tweeted that while the security forces observed restraint during the past one month, the terrorists continued with their attacks on civilians and security forces resulting in deaths and injuries.

The past one week saw a sudden increase in terror incidents in Jammu and Kashmir. While a senior journalist Shujaat Bukhari was shot dead by terrorists in Srinagar, one Armyman identified as Aurangzeb was abducted and then brutally killed. Both these incidents had sparked a debate on whether to extend the ceasefire or not.
