Rajouri, June 02 (NVI) : Security forces on Tuesday intensified the ongoing anti-terror operation in a forested area of Rajouri district, with the massive cordon-and-search operation entering its 11th day, officials said.

The operation is being conducted in difficult terrain comprising dense forests, steep hills and rugged access routes, posing significant challenges for the security personnel involved in the search.

Officials said troops have strengthened the security grid and are carrying out extensive searches while maintaining close surveillance on all movement in and around the operational area.

Security forces are making sustained efforts to trace and neutralise the terrorists believed to be hiding in the area, they said.

Additional security arrangements have been put in place across the forest belt to prevent any escape attempts, while search operations continue in a coordinated manner, officials added.(NVI)
