In a massive security operation in the Kashmir Valley, three terrorists were killed in an encounter at the Lidwas Meadows region in the upper reaches of Dara, near Srinagar. A joint team of Jammu and Kashmir Police, the Indian Army, and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) successfully neutralized the militants following an intense firefight that lasted many hours.
The operation is a coordinated effort
The encounter occurred following a thorough search operation launched by security forces to locate militants allegedly hiding in the Lidwas Meadows area. Intelligence reports indicated that a cell of terrorists had been working in the area, prompting a concerted search operation to neutralize the threat. The operation brought together personnel from many agencies, including the Jammu and Kashmir Police, the Indian Army, and the CRPF, to locate and neutralize the terrorists. The location, known for its rugged topography, presented various obstacles to the security troops. However, the police, army, and CRPF forces worked together to successfully eliminate the insurgents.
Encounter and Casualties
As security troops closed in on the suspected militants' hideout, the terrorists opened fire, resulting in a heavy exchange of gunfire. During the subsequent encounter, all three terrorists were neutralized, and their remains were recovered from the scene of the conflict. According to local sources, the terrorists were highly equipped and sought to defy the security troops. There were no reported casualties or injuries among security personnel throughout the operation.
Security Forces' Statement
