Indian forces’ massive Rajouri operation enters 23rd day without breakthrough
Jammu : The Indian forces’ large-scale cordon and search operation in Rajouri district of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir has entered its 23rd consecutive day, exposing the failure of an extensive military campaign despite the deployment of massive manpower and advanced surveillance equipment.
According to Kashmir Media Service, since May 23, thousands of Indian Army and paramilitary personnel, backed by helicopters, drones, sniffer dogs and para commandos, have been engaged in a prolonged operation in the Dori Maal forest area of Gambhir Mughalan. However, despite nearly three weeks of intensive military action, the forces have failed to achieve any significant breakthrough.
The Indian forces, assisted by so-called Village Defence Guards, have further tightened the siege around the forest belt and intensified search operations, turning the entire area into a heavily militarized zone.
Residents continue to face severe difficulties due to repeated house raids, restrictions on movement and an overwhelming military presence. The prolonged operation has disrupted daily life and created an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty among the local population.
Observers say the continuation of the operation without tangible results highlights the ineffectiveness of India’s much-publicized anti-resistance strategy and reflects its growing dependence on military might to maintain control in the territory.
