Security forces launches search operation in Poonch 'Terrorists movement alert'

After receiving inputs about the suspicious movement of two separate groups of terrorists, joint security forces on Tuesday started a massive search operation in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district.

Officials said that the joint forces started the operation after receiving inputs about the suspected movement of terrorists at two locations in the remote Surankote area of the district.

Following the inputs, personnel of the Special Operations Group (SOG) of



J&K Police, assisted by troops of the Rashtriya Rifles, launched a CASO (Cordon and Search Operation) in the Dhara Sangla, Gujjar Naar and Kherowali Dhok areas, along with adjoining forested villages.

The officials said the operation in the densely forested region is continuing although no contact or exchange of fire has taken place with the suspected terrorists so far.

“A systematic operation is going on to track the terrorists,” officials said.
