A massive search operation to flush out terrorists in the upper reaches of Jammu and Kashmir\u2019s Kishtwar district<\/strong> entered its third day on Tuesday<\/strong>, with security forces detaining several individuals for questioning, officials said.<\/p>\n

The operation was launched on Sunday in Sonnar village near Mandral-Singhpora in the Chatroo belt<\/strong>, following intelligence inputs about the presence of terrorists in the area. The operation led to a gunfight<\/strong>, in which one Special Forces paratrooper, Havildar Gajendra Singh, was killed<\/strong>, while seven other personnel sustained injuries<\/strong>, mostly due to splinter wounds caused by a sudden grenade attack by the hiding terrorists.<\/p>\n

Although the terrorists managed to escape into the dense forest, security forces busted a well-fortified hideout<\/strong> stocked with a large quantity of winter supplies<\/strong>, including eatables, blankets and utensils, sufficient to sustain at least four persons during the harsh winter months.<\/p>\n

Senior officers, including Inspector General of Police, Jammu Zone, Bhim Sen Tuti<\/strong>, and Inspector General of CRPF (Jammu), R Gopala Krishna Rao<\/strong>, reached the encounter site and are camping in the area along with senior Army officers to supervise the ongoing operation.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a wreath-laying ceremony<\/strong> was held at Satwari in Jammu<\/strong> on Tuesday morning to pay tributes to the slain Special Forces commando. The ceremony was led by Brigadier Yudhvir Singh Sekhon<\/strong>, Officiating Chief of Staff, White Knight Corps<\/strong>, following which the mortal remains were sent to his hometown in Uttarakhand<\/strong> for the last rites.<\/p>\n

Deputy Inspector General of Police, Jammu\u2013Kathua\u2013Samba range, Shiv Kumar Sharma<\/strong>, Deputy Commissioner Jammu Rakesh Minhas<\/strong>, and senior officers of the Army, Police, CRPF and BSF<\/strong> attended the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Officials said that on Monday afternoon<\/strong>, several individuals were taken in for questioning in connection with the busted hideout, located at an altitude of over 12,000 feet<\/strong>. Security forces are working to identify overground workers (OGWs)<\/strong> who allegedly assisted the terrorists in procuring and transporting large quantities of rations, pulses, utensils and other supplies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cordon has been further tightened with search operations expanded. Troops of the corps, along with Police and CRPF, remain deployed to dominate the area,\u201d the Army said.<\/p>\n

Multiple teams of the Army, police and paramilitary forces, aided by drones and sniffer dogs<\/strong>, are combing the area despite challenging terrain<\/strong>, thick vegetation and steep slopes that continue to hamper visibility and movement.<\/p>\n

Officials said two to three terrorists<\/strong>, believed to be affiliated with the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM)<\/strong>, are suspected to be hiding in the area.
