A search operation by a joint team of security forces is underway to track down three Pakistan-based JeM terrorists in a forested area of J&K’s Udhampur district Friday, officials said.
A Pakistan-based JeM terrorist was killed in an encounter with security forces on Thursday and three of his associates remain trapped in the forested area of the Basantgarh belt.
Backed by drones and sniffer dogs, the operation resumed afresh this morning, with the cordon further strengthened with additional reinforcements to eliminate the remaining terrorists of the group, they added.
“In the ongoing operation at Basantgarh, we had an encounter with terrorists around 8:30 am yesterday. Due to poor weather, the operation faced challenges. This group consisted of four terrorists,” IGP Bhim Sen Tuti said. He said that one terrorist has been successfully neutralised and the search is on to track down the remaining three.
