Jammu,: A massive cordon and search operation launched by Indian forces’ personnel in the Rajouri district of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir entered its 9th straight day on Sunday.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, the massive operation, involving personnel of the Indian Army, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Special Operations Group (SOG), and so-called Village Defence Guards, has been underway in the Gambhir Mughlan and Dorimal areas of Manjakote in the district.<\/p>\n
Indian authorities have intensified the operation by deploying para commandos in the rugged terrain, while using helicopters, aerial surveillance, drones, and sniffer dogs to trace the movement of Kashmiri freedom fighters within the thick forest cover of the area.<\/p>\n
The operation, codenamed Operation Sheruwali by the Indian Army, has witnessed a large-scale deployment of forces, with additional reinforcements and logistical support rushed to the area.<\/p>\n
The prolonged military action has created an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty among local residents. All entry and exit routes to the area have been sealed, while surrounding villages remain under a strict cordon and are being subjected to repeated door-to-door searches.<\/p>\n
The entire area remained under strict security watch as the operation continued for the ninth consecutive day, an official said.<\/p>\n
Media personnel have been denied access to the area, preventing independent monitoring of the ongoing operation.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the cordon and search operation also continued in Surankote in Poonch and Chatroo in Kishtwar districts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
