Mega Anti-Terror Operations Underway After Recent Attacks in Jammu Region, 59 Detained

Jammu: In the wake of recent attacks and encounters in the Jammu region, high-level discussions are underway in Kathua. Prominent figures such as DGP Jammu and Kashmir Police R R Swain, Punjab counterpart Gaurav Yadav, Special Director General of Border Security Force (BSF) Western Command Y B Khurania, and other top security officials are deeply involved in these deliberations.

An official told Republic TV that Jaish e Mohammad (JeM) terrorists are believed to have successfully infiltrated through the international border, reaching the dense forests of Machedi. This area connects Basanth, where suspicious movement was observed yesterday, and Bhaderwah in the Doda district, where an anti-terror operation is already underway post-Kathua attack. There are reportedly two to three groups of highly trained terrorists with US-made M4 and AK-series weapons active in the region, and forces are determined to neutralise them at the earliest.

Approximately 60 individuals have been detained for questioning about the Kathua ambush on the Indian Army. An official said that a significant possibility of local involvement in the recent attack is not ruled out, yet. He further added, “Various security agencies are thoroughly checking the electronic gadgets of these individuals for any leads related to Kathua attack in which five brave Indian army jawans were martyred and five others are hospitalized.”

As Republic TV reports from the ground, dozens of additional Quick Response Teams (QRTs) of the Indian Army and other forces have been mobilised across various districts of Jammu to respond swiftly to any terror threat.

Today marks the fourth day since the Kathua ambush, with massive operations ongoing in Kathua, Doda, Udhampur, Rajouri, and now in Lakhanpur.

 

As a precautionary measure, a high alert has been sounded on national highways, with multiple checkpoints established by joint forces while CCTV and drone surveillance have been put up at sensitive locations across Jammu and Kashmir to ensure heightened security.
