Security forces dismantle terrorist hideout

Anantnag

Security forces launched a joint operation in Jammu and Kashmir’s Sanglan forest, successfully dismantling a terrorist hideout. The operation involved the Special Operations Group (SOG) Anantnag, 19 Rashtriya Rifles (RR), and CRPF under the jurisdiction of Police Station Uttersoo.

SSP Anantnag GV Sundeep stated, "Yesterday we received a specific input. We formed a joint team with the CRPF to neutralise the movement of a terrorist presence in Chitragul, and we went for the search operation. We have busted a terrorist hideout and recovered a lot of arms and ammunition from that hideout and an investigation is underway. From this hideout logistics support used to be given to terrorists."

He also mentioned another operation in Hassanpora Bijbehara, where an illegal structure linked to Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba handler Haron Rashid Ganie was demolished. "Jammu and Kashmir Police are keeping an eye on every such handler. If anyone from Pakistan tries to orchestrate terrorist activities, then strict legal action will be taken against them."

Items recovered from the hideout include AK cartridges, a grenade, a night vision device, and other supplies. Authorities urged citizens to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities to help maintain regional security.
