Authorities have begun coordinated search operations in the Rajouri and Udhampur districts of Jammu and Kashmir following intelligence about possible terrorist movement.
Security agencies in Jammu and Kashmir have initiated extensive search operations in the districts of Rajouri and Udhampur after receiving intelligence about a suspected terrorist movement in the area. The operations are being carried out by local police and paramilitary units, who are combing villages, forested zones and strategic points for any signs of militant activity.
Officials said the moves aim to pre‑empt any infiltration and to secure the border‑adjacent regions that have historically been vulnerable to cross‑border incursions. Teams are employing standard counter‑terror protocols, including door‑to‑door checks, surveillance sweeps and the use of sniffer dogs.
The authorities have urged residents to cooperate with the search teams and report any unusual observations. No arrests or casualties have been reported so far, and the situation remains under close monitoring as the search continues.
The launch of the operation underscores the heightened vigilance of security forces in the Union Territory, especially in light of recent intelligence inputs pointing to potential threats.
Further updates will be provided as the search progresses and more information becomes available.
