An intense encounter is underway in Kishhtwar, Jammu & Kashmir, as security forces search for 2–3 Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists hiding in dense forest areas. The operation, named Operation Tarashi, began on January 18 and has continued relentlessly since then. The terrorists have occasionally fired at security personnel, prompting the army, CRPF, and local police to surround the Dolgam area. The region poses significant challenges due to heavy snowfall, high altitude, and dense forests, making the search operation extremely difficult. During the operation, security forces successfully destroyed major terrorist hideouts, although intermittent gunfire has continued between the two sides. Despite the harsh winter conditions, the forces remain committed to neutralizing the threat and ensuring civilian safety. Sources indicate that the operation is ongoing, and security agencies are carefully coordinating efforts to prevent any casualties while tracking the remaining terrorists. Authorities have praised the bravery and dedication of the security forces who have been operating in these treacherous conditions since January 18. The encounter highlights the persistent efforts of Indian forces to combat terrorism in Jammu & Kashmir, even under adverse environmental challenges, and reassures the public of their focus on maintaining law and order in the region.
