Massive Search Operation Across Kulgam Villages After CRPF Attack; Houses, Orchards Searched
Kulgam, Nov 13, KNT: Security forces have launched a massive search operation across multiple villages in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district following the attack on CRPF personnel, with security teams conducting searches in residential houses, orchards and adjoining areas.
A heavy deployment of security personnel has been reported in several villages, including Matalhama, Chadar, Bhan, Mah, Akhran, Nowpora, Zangalpora and Kelam Gund, besides adjoining hamlets.
Search teams are moving through residential localities and orchard areas as part of the extensive operation to trace those involved in the attack. Sniffer dogs have also been pressed into service to assist the search teams.
The operation involves coordinated efforts by police and other security forces, with personnel carrying out searches at multiple locations across the district.
The heightened security presence has drawn attention across the affected villages, where searches are being conducted in houses, orchards and surrounding areas.
The operation follows the firing incident near Mir Bazar, in which three CRPF personnel were injured after suspected militants opened fire on a security deployment.
Security forces are continuing the searches to establish the movement of those involved and gather further evidence related to the attack. [KNT]
