Security forces on Sunday conducted a search operation in the Sidhra area of the Jammu district of Jammu and Kashmir after receiving specific Intel reports of the suspected explosives in the area.
Earlier, on Saturday, Baramulla Police, along with the security forces, busted a terror hideout in the Kunzer area of the Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir.
A joint operation was launched in the forests adjoining the village Malwa, under the jurisdiction of Police Station Kunzer, by Baramulla Police, Budgam Police, and 62 RR.
Reports suggest that, based on the verified leads generated during the investigation, a joint operation was launched in the area.
After the seizure of the materials under the relevant provisions of law, the hideout was destroyed in situ, the spokesperson said.
During the search operation, the police recovered arms and ammunition, destroyed the hideout, and managed to eliminate possible future terror attacks.
With this, they have also managed to dismantle nefarious plans of the terror outfits to derail peace and harmony in the Kashmir Valley.
Since the new government led by Omar Abdullah assumed office, terror attacks have surged in Kashmir Valley.
Several attacks and encounters have taken place in the past two months, resulting in the deaths of several people, including security forces personnel, civilians, and militants.
However, security forces have also intensified counter-insurgency operations in the valley following the spurt in the attacks.
Meanwhile, the UT administration has also directed security forces to tackle the militancy and ensure such attacks do not take place in the future.
