Jammu- Fresh searches were launched along the border with Pakistan in Samba and Poonch even as cordon and search operations continued for the seventh straight day on Wednesday to track the terrorists involved in last week’s ambush that killed four soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir, officials said.
“Security forces are continuing the cordon and search operation to track down the terrorists involved in the ambush on Army vehicles,” a senior official told PTI.
The operation includes sniffer dogs, surveillance equipment and aerial mechanisms. Additional forces have been deployed to plug seven infiltration routes amid area domination operations in the area.
Mobile internet services will remain suspended in Rajouri and Poonch for the fifth day in a row.
Security forces and special operation groups have launched search operations at three places along the International Border (IB) in Samba district since this morning, officials said.
They said that this has been done as a precautionary measure due to the intense fog along the borderline, they said.
Security forces have also launched fresh search operations along the LoC in Kirni sector in Poonch following reports of suspicious movement in the area, they said. The operations are going on, they said.
