Massive search operations are ongoing across several districts of Jammu and Kashmir as security forces work to track down and neutralize terrorists responsible for recent deadly attacks in the region. The operations, concentrated primarily in Doda and Reasi districts, come in response to a series of attacks that have claimed the lives of civilians and security personnel.

In recent days, terrorists targeted multiple locations across Reasi, Kathua, and Doda districts, resulting in casualties including nine pilgrims and a CRPF jawan, with several others injured. Two suspected Pakistani terrorists were killed during an encounter in Kathua, where a substantial cache of arms and ammunition was seized by security forces.

The Jammu and Kashmir Police have issued appeals for information from the public regarding the whereabouts of these terrorists, emphasizing the confidentiality of informants. Rewards totaling ₹20 lakh have been announced for information leading to the arrest of key suspects involved in the attacks.

Security operations have been particularly intense in areas like Kota top in Gandoh and Chattagalla in Doda, where recent skirmishes between security forces and terrorists have left seven personnel injured. Despite these efforts, authorities have reported no recent contact with the fleeing terrorists.

In response to intelligence warnings of potential further attacks, security measures have been heightened across Rajouri, Poonch, Kathua, Samba, and Jammu districts. ‘Naka’ checkpoints have been established, and residents have been urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to local authorities.

The situation remains tense as security forces continue to conduct searches and maintain a heightened state of alert across the region. The public is encouraged to cooperate with authorities to ensure the safety and security of all residents.

The security situation in Jammu and Kashmir remains fluid as authorities intensify efforts to apprehend those responsible for recent attacks. With operations ongoing and vigilance heightened, the focus remains on preventing further violence and maintaining peace in the region.
