Doda/Jammu: Security forces have launched a search operation in a remote village of Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district after receiving inputs about the movement of three suspected terrorists, a senior police officer said.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Doda, Sandeep Mehta, said the operation was initiated in the Bhallara area of Thathri on Friday evening and was still underway.
Officials said police, with support from the Army, cordoned off a large area of the village and nearby forests. However, no contact has yet been established with the suspects.
Tension continues to grip Doda after the detention of AAP’s J&K president and local MLA Meraj Malik under the Public Safety Act earlier this week.
The district remains under heightened security, with authorities maintaining strict surveillance to prevent any untoward incident.
