Attacks in 72 hours

Following the terrorist strikes in Reasi, Doda, and Kathua, there's a resurgence of terrorist activities in Chochru Ganla of Basantgarh. Recent reports on Wednesday cited the presence of four terrorists in the area, prompting heightened security measures by the police and army. A rigorous search operation is underway to apprehend the terrorists, especially considering the rugged, forested terrain. With over 50 Gujjar-Bakarwal camps in the vicinity, caution is exercised during forest exploration.

Joint operation has been underway 

About a month and a half ago, a VDG member lost their life in a confrontation with terrorists in Basantgarh. Since then, a joint operation by the Army, Police, CRPF, and SOG has been ongoing in the region. The reappearance of four terrorists in Chochru Ganla suggests the possibility of their prolonged hideout there. The dense, hilly forests provide ample cover for such activities.

Prompted an intensified search operation 

Recent sightings confirm the presence of these terrorists, prompting an intensified search operation. Security forces have also fortified Kathua and Bhaderwah while tightening surveillance on all routes. The journey to Chochru Ganla from Basantgarh on foot spans 4 to 5 hours through thick forests, making visibility scarce. Given the recent attacks, security measures have been bolstered, and search efforts intensified to ensure safety.

Doda terrorist attack 

On Wednesday evening, terrorists engaged in a confrontation with security forces in the Gandoh region of Doda, marking the fourth such incident within a span of three days. Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed a recent escalation in violence, highlighted by three significant terror attacks occurring in rapid succession. Amidst the ongoing clash, a Jammu and Kashmir Police official sustained injuries and was subsequently transported to the hospital.

This encounter adds to a series of clashes that have resulted in casualties among both security personnel and civilians. A CRPF jawan lost his life, and six security personnel sustained injuries during overnight encounters with terrorists in Kathua and Doda districts on Tuesday. Additionally, nine individuals lost their lives, and 42 others were injured in Reasi following an attack on a bus carrying pilgrims from the Shiv Khori shrine on Sunday.
