SRINAGAR: Security forces carried out a search operation in a village in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district on Monday, following a tip-off about the movement of some suspicious individuals, according to officials.
A resident of Purani village noticed the movement of at least three suspicious people in the early hours and promptly informed the police, they said.
The police, along with assistance from the Army and the CRPF, swiftly established a cordon and conducted house-to-house searches. However, no suspicious individuals were found, according to the officials.
Local residents claimed that this was the second instance in a fortnight where the movement of suspicious individuals during nighttime had been reported by a villager.
In addition, they have demanded the establishment of a permanent security post in the village to enhance protection.
Given the three separate attacks that have occurred since January, resulting in the death of 10 army soldiers and seven civilians, security forces remain on high alert in Poonch and the nearby Rajouri districts.
