Hideout of longest surviving Hizbul terrorist unearthed in Kishtwar

KISHTWAR: In the upper regions of Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar area, security authorities on Tuesday discovered a hideout being used by Jehangir Saroori, the organization's longest-surviving terrorist, according to a police officer. According to Senior Superintendent of Police for Kishtwar, Khalil Poswal, the police demolished the hideout in Bhadat Saroor's Paribag neighbourhood after carefully planning an operation with the help of the Rashtriya Rifles and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). Saroori is thought to be hiding in the higher altitudes of the Kishtwar district and joined the insurgency in the early 1990s. Abdul Karim Butt, Saroori's brother, was imprisoned on August 3 under the strict Public Safety Act due to his association with terrorism.He called the discovery of the bunker a "significant breakthrough" in the fight against terrorism and claimed that Saroori was believed to have been using it to plot nefarious acts. The officer added that the recovery of these items highlights the significance of this operation in stopping illegal activities in the area. During the search operation, the police recovered two blankets, some edibles, and personal use items from the hideout, indicating the presence of the terrorist. The SSP stated that searches are being carried out and that the entire area has been sealed off. "Our mission is to ensure the safety and security of our citizens, and today's operation is a resounding success in our ongoing efforts to eradicate terrorism from the…
