New Delhi (NVI) The India Army and J&K Police today foiled a major terror bid by arresting some militants with explosive material in Galuthi area of Jammu’s Rajouri district.
In a statement, Army’s Jammu based PRO Lt Col Devender Anand said that these militants were likely to carry out a blast in Rajouri district and probably attempting to disrupt the communal harmony prevailing in the region.
“In an intelligence based well coordinated joint operation of Army and J&K Police, terrorists with explosive material were apprehended from a suspected vehicle near Galuthi, District Rajouri,” the PRO said.
“The apprehended terrorists are likely from terror outfit ‘Jammu and Kashmir Ghaznavi Force,” he added.
With the arrest of these terrorists, the security forces have unearthed a nexus involving local terrorists which were involved in ferrying war like stores and narcotics. Search operation is still on to recover more arms or explosive material from their hideouts, Army said.
Pertinent to mention here that two foreign terrorists of the same JK Ghaznavi Force were also killed in an encounter on 13 Dec 20 at Dogrian (Poonch) on Old Mughal Road. Their connection to Pakistan handlers is also being probed, Army said.
