Rajouri, July 1 (NVI): Security forces on Wednesday continued their anti-terror operation in the forested Dorimal area of the Gambir Mughlan-Manjakote sector in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district as the ongoing Operation Sheruwali entered its 40th day, officials said.

The operation was launched following intelligence inputs about the presence of terrorists in the upper reaches of Rajouri and has since been continuing with sustained search and surveillance efforts.

Officials said troops are carrying out coordinated combing operations in the dense forests with the support of advanced surveillance equipment to track down the suspected terrorists.

No fresh contact with the terrorists has been reported so far, they said, adding that security forces have maintained a tight cordon around the area to prevent any escape.—(NVI)
