No terrorist killed so far in ongoing Shopian operation; searches continue in Chanapora: Officials

Srinagar , July 05: No terrorist body had been seen or retrieved so far in the ongoing cordon and search operation (CASO) in the Chanapora area of south Kashmir’s Shopian district, even as security forces continue intensive searches in the locality, officials said on Sunday.

Officials said that a joint team of the Police, Army and CRPF launched the operation in Chanapora following specific intelligence inputs about the possible presence of terrorists in the area.

The area was cordoned off and a thorough search operation was initiated to trace the suspected terrorists. During the operation, security forces have been conducting systematic searches, with additional reinforcements maintaining a tight security grid to prevent any escape.

Sources said that despite reports of suspicious movement during the operation, no terrorist body has been recovered so far. The operation remains in progress, and security personnel are continuing to comb the area.

Officials added that the situation is being closely monitored and further information will be shared as the operation develops.

The joint operation by Police, Army and CRPF was still underway when the last reports came in.
