Search ops on to track down Jaish terrorists in J&K’s Kishtwar

The security personnel have been scouring the forest area for four days, looking for the terrorists who abducted and killed two village defence guards (VDGs) in the upper reaches of Ohli Kuntwara last Thursday.

“The army along with police resumed searches on Monday morning to track down the group of terrorists, believed to be three to four, in the dense forests of Keshwan and adjoining areas in Kishtwar district,” a senior police officer said.

He said that the army has deployed helicopters and drones besides sniffer dogs to locate the terrorists in the dense jungles. “The terrorists belonging to the Jaish-e-Mohammad are trained in guerrilla warfare and use the hilly terrain and jungles to their advantage,” he said.
