The tracksuits found among a large cache of ammunition and other materials in the Sanyal forests were identical to those worn by the four JeM terrorists killed in Assar forests and Doda in June and August last year.<br \/>\nLocals of the areas have joined the operation by security forces and urged people in other areas to remain vigilant and inform any movement of suspected persons in their areas. Several villagers have requested people to come forward with information about the movement of terrorists in their areas.<br \/>\nThe operation led by Director General of Police Nalin Prabhat was launched on Sunday evening in the Hiranagar sector following an encounter between security forces and terrorists hiding in a nursery.<br \/>\nThe Special Operations Group of police initiated the operation after receiving intelligence about terrorists hiding inside a \u201ddhok\u201d (local enclosure) in a nursery in Sanyal village, approximately five kilometers from the International Border with Pakistan, officials said.<br \/>\nThe hidding terrorists opened fire on the police team, resulting in a prolonged gunfight lasting over half an hour.<br \/>\nReinforcements were promptly dispatched as a manhunt began to apprehend the terrorists believed to have infiltrated on Saturday via either a ravine route or a newly constructed tunnel.<br \/>\nInitial firing did not cause any casualties, and the area remained under tight security overnight before security forces moved in at dawn, officials said.<br \/>\nAlthough there have been no further encounters with the terrorists, search parties on Monday discovered four loaded magazines of M4 carbine, two grenades, a bulletproof jacket, sleeping bags, tracksuits and several packets of food.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27968\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27968\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-27968\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/486708796_1059956622835882_879650698260723882_n-300x170.jpg\" alt=\"Search Operation Enters Fourth Day In Kathua\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/486708796_1059956622835882_879650698260723882_n-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/486708796_1059956622835882_879650698260723882_n-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/486708796_1059956622835882_879650698260723882_n-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/486708796_1059956622835882_879650698260723882_n-1536x870.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/486708796_1059956622835882_879650698260723882_n-549x311.jpg 549w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/486708796_1059956622835882_879650698260723882_n-470x266.jpg 470w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/486708796_1059956622835882_879650698260723882_n-233x132.jpg 233w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/486708796_1059956622835882_879650698260723882_n-230x130.jpg 230w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/486708796_1059956622835882_879650698260723882_n-360x204.jpg 360w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/486708796_1059956622835882_879650698260723882_n-100x57.jpg 100w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/486708796_1059956622835882_879650698260723882_n.jpg 1731w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27968\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Search Operation Enters Fourth Day In Kathua<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JAMMU, Mar 26: A massive multi-tier combing operation to track down a group of infiltrating terrorists continued for the fourth consecutive day on Wednesday in forested areas of Jammu and Kashmir\u2019s Kathua district.
