Over ground workers (OGWs) are people who help militants, or terrorists, with logistical support, cash, shelter, and other infrastructure with which armed groups and insurgency movements such as Hizbul Mujaheddin and Jaish-e-Muhammad in Jammu and Kashmir can operate. OGWs play a vital role in militant attacks, providing real-time information and support to the tactical elements. Over ground workers have diversified into other roles such as stone-pelting, mob-rioting, ideological support, radicalisation, and recruitment of militants. In 2020, up until 8 June, around 135 over ground workers were arrested in Jammu and Kashmir by the Jammu and Kashmir police. While the term is used and associated extensively with the Kashmir region, the term has also been used officially in other parts of Indi

- Over ground workers often lodge false allegation against the security forces to enforce caution and keep units busy in infructuous investigations. NGOs, state human right organizations, local press, and opposition leaders are used to check exuberance of the security forces. At times the insurgents launch attacks in a way that draws reprisals from the security forces against the population. This helps their cause as the people witness atrocities of the forces. Politicians organize mass agitations […] (en)
- Neutralization of terrorists and their support base must be in consonance with laws of land so that the civil face of the governance is always visible [...] The handling of over ground workers also has to be as per the laws. [...] (en)
- ... if militants are seen as fish, OGWs are the water that ensures their survival [...] OGW is a militant without a weapon. An OGW is a militant on the threshold of using a gun against the security forces and innocent civilians. [...] in the operational terms, a stone-pelter or a habitual offender is not something we regard as a hardcore OGW [...] Such elements are here today and gone tomorrow. But, a hardcore OGW lives supporting the gun and finally dies wielding it. (en)
