The operation was launched on Friday morning after the killing of five Indian forces’ personnel in a blast at Kesari. Later, the troops in a vindictive action martyred an innocent youth in a fake encounter in the same area.

Indian army and paramilitary personnel continue their siege and search operations on the second consecutive day, today, in Khakha Nawan, Purani Poonch, Jernally Mohalla and Poonch town in Poonch district. The search operation also continued on the 22nd consecutive day, today, in several areas of the district.

Officials said Indian paramilitary forces have been deployed in strength across the occupied territory to check vehicles at every checkpoint and all roads leading to the Jammu city are being manned by a large number of forces’ personnel.

House raids are going on in every city and town of the Kashmir Valley, causing immense inconvenience to the local residents.
