Security forces, in coordination with security agencies, on Sunday launched a massive crackdown on Jamaat-e-Islami-linked assets and areas in Sopore along with 25 other locations in North Kashmir.
Officials said search operations are being carried out at over two dozen locations in connection with a case registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The searches are being conducted as part of an ongoing investigation into the alleged anti-national activities and affiliation with the proscribed outfit.
The simultaneous raids are being conducted in close coordination with the security forces and Jammu and Kashmir Police.
According to official sources, the raids are part of a broader action aimed at collecting evidence and dismantling the alleged networks. These searches will continue until each element of the banned outfit is dismantled, they said.
Security arrangements have also been strengthened in the areas where the searches are being conducted to ensure the operations are carried out smoothly and to prevent any disruption to law and order.
The searches were ongoing until the filing of this report.
More details are awaited.
