Following the terror attack in Pahalgam, Anantnag Police, working closely with the Army, CRPF, and other security forces, have launched large-scale search and cordon operations across the district, according to an ANI report.
The attack took place on 22 April, when terrorists targeted tourists at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam. Tragically, 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen lost their lives, and several others were injured.
Since then, the police and security forces have been carrying out raids across different areas of Anantnag. Day and night searches are ongoing with extra vigilance. So far, around 175 suspects have been detained for questioning as part of efforts to break down the networks supporting terrorist activities.
To strengthen security, more Mobile Vehicle Check Points (MVCPs) have been set up throughout the district to watch for suspicious movements and ensure public safety.
In addition, Cordon and Search Operations (CASOs), ambushes, and increased patrolling have been launched, especially in dense forest areas, to find and remove any hidden terrorists and make the district secure.
Anantnag Police said they are fully committed, along with partner security forces, to keeping peace and stopping any attempts to disturb normal life. They have also asked the public to cooperate and to report any suspicious activity to the nearest police station.
Meanwhile, security forces have been put on high alert in the Rajouri region of Jammu and Kashmir. Forces are carrying out thorough vehicle checks along the Jammu-Rajouri-Poonch highway, with special attention to any suspicious activity.
Large numbers of troops have been deployed to prevent any further incidents.
On Friday, Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi visited Srinagar for the first time since the Pahalgam attack. He reviewed the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir and was briefed on actions taken against terrorists within Indian territory, as well as Pakistan Army's attempts to violate the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC).
