Jagran Team, Kishtwar. The operation to kill terrorists in the forest of Singhpora in district Kishtwar continued for the third day on Tuesday. During this time some people have been picked up for questioning. Security forces are also trying to find out who helped in delivering such quantity of ration, blankets, drums, medicines, utensils, gas cylinders and other items to the terrorist bunker-like hideout at an altitude of about 12 thousand feet in the forest.
The security forces are also searching every nook and corner for the helpers of the terrorists. This operation started on Sunday in Singhpora area of Chatru. During this time, one para commando was martyred and seven other soldiers were injured in the firing of terrorists. The injured are being treated in the military hospital, while the minor injured soldiers have forgotten their wounds and are waiting for the operation.
Who was delivering ration?
After the encounter, the terrorists had escaped into the dense forest, but one of their hideouts was destroyed by the security forces, which contained a large quantity of winter items including ration. It is clear from the recovered ration that the terrorists were going to stay there for months. Senior officials including Jammu Zone Inspector General of Police Bhim Sen Tooti and CRPF Jammu Inspector General R Gopal Krishna Rao took stock of the encounter site. Both the officers are camping in the area itself.
Sources said that three to four terrorists associated with Pakistan-backed Jaish-e-Mohammed may be hiding in the forest. In view of Republic Day, the security forces do not want any mistake and the search for terrorists is going on continuously. Meanwhile, the Army's White Knight Corps also said in a post on Twitter that Operation Trashi-1 is ongoing. The cordon has been tightened and the scope of the search operation has been increased.
Joint operation going on to search for terrorists
The concerned officer said that several teams of Army, Police and Central Force are conducting operations in the inaccessible area with the help of drones, helicopters and sniffer dogs. There are dense forests and steep slopes in this area. In such a situation, every step has to be taken carefully. Officials said that the material recovered from the demolished terrorist hideout was enough to feed at least four to five people for several months.
Now many people are being interrogated on the basis of suspicion. The populated area was seven kilometers away from the terrorist hideout. Investigation is being done as to how so much goods reached the destination. Who brought the goods to this height?
