JAMMU, Jul 3: A search operation was underway on Thursday to track down two to three terrorists hiding in a forested area of Jammu and Kashmir\u2019s Kishtwar district, officials said.
\nThe cordon and search operation follows an encounter that broke out between terrorists and security forces in the heavily forested Kanzal Mandu area of the Kuchal-Chatroo belt on Wednesday night.
\nThe operation is backed by drones and sniffer dogs, with the cordon further strengthened by additional reinforcements.
\nAs per unconfirmed reports, one terrorist is believed to have been injured in the gunbattle, which continued this morning.
\nThe encounter started when police, assisted by the Army and CRPF, launched a cordon and search operation in the Kuchal area of Chatroo around 7:45 pm on Wednesday following information about the presence of terrorists, they said.
\nThe officials said the terrorists opened fire on noticing the search parties, leading to a gunfight which was continuing when last reports came in.
\nReinforcements have been rushed to the area to maintain a tight cordon and neutralise the terrorists, who are affiliated with Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad outfit, the officials said.
\nAccording to reports, top terrorists Saifullah and Adil are believed to be operating in the hills of the district.
\nThis is the second encounter in the Jammu region in the past one week. On June 26, a Pakistan-based JeM terrorist was killed in an encounter with security forces, and three of his associates escaped into the forested area of the Basantgarh belt of Udhampur district.<\/p>\n
