According to officials, a joint operation was launched by the Army and Jammu and Kashmir police on Monday evening following an exchange of fire with terrorists in Dessa area of the district.
Further, RR Swain emphasized that due to the strategy of the government, security forces and population, this dubious duplicity has been put to an end.
Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police, RR Swain, said on Monday that even one terrorist sent to kill indiscriminately, with the purpose of increasing the level of violence, is a challenge for the security forces.
Notably, three terrorists were killed by the Indian Army during the anti-infiltration operation at the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Kupwara on Sunday.
Two people were killed and four were critically injured after a bus travelling from Bhalessa to Thathri skidded off the road and plunged into a 200-foot-deep gorge in Jammu and Kashmir, said officials.
An encounter broke out between militants and security forces in the Sezan forest area of Jammu and Kashmir's Doda district on Tuesday evening, even as the Army, police and CRPF launched a search operation to track down militants involved in the attack on an Army convoy on July 8.
Earlier, calling it a cowardly act, President Droupadi Murmu condemned the July 8 Kathua terror attack in which five army soldiers lost their lives and called for firm counter-measures.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday arrived at the incident site where an Army convoy was ambushed in the Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir in which five Army personnel, including a junior commissioned officer, tragically lost their lives on July 8.
Calling the Kathua Terror attack "heartbreaking", Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Ajay Rai urged the Union Home Minister Ajay Rai and Jammu and Kashmir LG Manoj Sinha to take "immediate action" against the terrorists who killed five Army soldiers in Kathua on July 8.
Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police (DGP) RR Swain on Saturday handed over appointment letters to the Special Police Officers (SPOs) who recently neutralised three terrorists in the Gandoh area who had sneaked into the Doda District.
