The surge in attacks brings fear in Kashmir Valley

A day after Kashmir Valley peacefully celebrated the festival of lights, a joint team of security forces Saturday eliminated two more foreign terrorists in the Halkan Gali area of Anantnag while an encounter was going on in the Khanyar area of Srinagar.

Srinagar is witnessing a broad daylight gunfight after a gap of almost two years. Traffic on the busy roads leading to the encounter site has been diverted while a high alert is sounded in the neighboring areas to prevent any collateral damage.

Two migrant workers from Uttar Pradesh were also shot in the central Kashmir district of Budgam late Thursday evening by unidentified terrorists. These workers were working on the Jal Jeewan Project site.

Meanwhile, a separate search operation was also going on in the Panar area of Bandipora after security forces spotted suspicious movement late Thursday night.

According to a spokesman of the Srinagar-based Chinar Corps a joint operation was launched by the Indian army along with CRPF and the special operations group of the Jammu and Kashmir police in the general area of Halkan Gali, Anantnag. During the operation when troops challenged a group of terrorists they opened indiscriminate fire. Strong retaliation by the forces resulted in the elimination of two terrorists. Operation is in progress.
