An intense wave of counter-terror operations are underway at multiple locations across Jammu and Kashmir in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, reports citing sources said on Tuesday.

Continuing its investigation, Jammu and Kashmir police on Monday conducted raids across 13 different locations in Doda district to bust the terrorist hideout and take action against those linked to terror activities.

 

This comes as the security concerns intensify after the recent Pahalgam attack, which claimed the lives of 26 people.

 

Similar raids were conducted by the Srinagar police at multiple locations across the city to find and destroy the overground and underground workers' network and those associated with the proscribed terrorist groups.

 

As per the police release, the Srinagar police raided some 63 locations across the city.

 

The searches were conducted in accordance with proper legal procedures in the presence of Executive Magistrates and independent witnesses under the supervision of the officers of J&K Police.
