Tutti, claimed that an exchange of fire had taken place in the area. Indian forces have launched extensive house-to-house searches, sealing all entry and exit points. The entire locality remains under siege as troops continue the operation under the cover of heavy deployment and surveillance drones.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Indian forces are also conducting a separate cordon and search operation in Warsan area of Kupwara district. A senior police officer claimed that a cache of arms and ammunition was recovered during the searches \u2014 a routine claim often used to justify such widespread raids.<\/p>\n<p>Local residents said the troops broke into several homes, harassing and intimidating families, including women and children. Human rights observers maintain that these operations \u2014 conducted under draconian laws like the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) \u2014 serve as collective punishment to crush dissent and suppress the Kashmiris\u2019 demand for freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts say the fresh military operations in Rajouri and Kupwara underscore India\u2019s deepening militarisation of the occupied territory, where over one million troops remain deployed. They note that such repeated crackdowns are part of the Modi regime\u2019s broader campaign to project control through fear rather than addressing the political realities of the Kashmir dispute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jammu: Indian troops have launched a massive cordon and search operation (CASO) in Rajouri district of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, further intensifying the climate of fear and repression across the territory.
