The people of Pampur know nothing except saffron cultivation. In 1994, a non-local group (guest militant group) of about 20 to 50 militants armed with modern weapons in Pampur, not a single one of whom was a local youth from Pampur, decided to Fidayeen attack a gas turbine while the turbine was being monitored by the army and BSF. It was November 4, 1994. One of the biggest obstacles in carrying out this attack was Hizbul Mujahideen & Al-Jihad, whose permission to attack was difficult if not impossible. ... At the same time, this militant group separated itself from its "Jehad Council". The Al-Jihad and Hizbul Mujahideen unit and highly educated both Divisional cammanders for South of made it clear that if it was attacked, it would not only pose a threat to the lives and property of Pampur but also cause a lot of loss of life in the surrounding area, which we cannot afford.
