Kishtwar (J&K), Nov 15 (NVI): A major anti-terror operation was launched in the forest areas of Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district, with Army personnel and Special Operations Group (SOG) teams deployed to conduct searches, officials said.
The operation follows the killing of two Special Police Officers (SPOs), whose bullet-riddled bodies were recovered from the Dherna Top forest area earlier this week. The deceased personnel were attached to the Special Operations Group (SOG) and were posted in the Dachhan area.
Security personnel are conducting searches across the dense forest stretches and difficult mountainous terrain to trace the suspected terrioist involved in the killings. Jammu and Kashmir Police and Village Defence Guards (VDGs) are also participating in the joint operation, officials said.
The operation is being supervised by senior police officers, while security forces have intensified surveillance in the area to track down those responsible for the attack.
Officials said search operations were continuing in the forest areas to locate the suspects and establish their movements.—(NVI)
