Operation Sheruwali entered its 28th day on Friday in the dense Dorimal forest of the Gambhir Mughlan area in the Manjakote sector of Rajouri district, making it one of the longest ongoing anti-militancy operations in the region in recent decades.
Security forces have intensified combing operations across the challenging forest terrain. The operation is being conducted in rugged hilly areas with steep slopes, rocky mountains and thick vegetation, which continue to pose serious challenges for troops searching for hiding militants.
Despite the difficult conditions, security personnel remain on high alert and are continuously expanding the search radius in the forest belt to track any suspicious movement.
The forces have also deployed additional resources, including drones, K-9 squads and reinforcements, to track the suspects believed to be hiding deep inside the dense forests.
Operation Sheruwali is a large-scale counter-terrorism combing mission launched in the dense forest belts of the Dorimal-Gambhir Mughlan sector in Rajouri district.
The operation was launched in May after security forces engaged two to three infiltrators armed with heavy weapons in the rugged mountainous terrain. While the forces successfully engaged them twice, the terrorists have since remained elusive in the vast forested area.
