Security forces successfully neutralized a terrorist during a fierce encounter in the Dachhigam forest area of Srinagar on Tuesday. The operation was initiated based on specific intelligence inputs that prompted a cordon-and-search mission in the upper reaches of Dachhigam, an area known for its dense forest and wildlife.
As the search party proceeded, terrorists opened fire on the security personnel, leading to an immediate and robust retaliation. In the ensuing gunfight, one terrorist was confirmed killed, marking a significant achievement for the forces involved. The operation showcased the efficacy and preparedness of the security troops in rapidly responding to threats.
The Army’s Northern Command took to social media platform X to commend the accomplishments of the forces. They highlighted the exceptional coordination between the Chinar Warriors and the Jammu and Kashmir Police during Operation Dachhigam, praising their swift action and precise execution that resulted in neutralizing the terrorist threat effectively.
Authorities in Srinagar confirmed that exchanges of gunfire were ongoing, indicating the heightened tensions and the seriousness of the security situation in the region. Dachhigam, which is recognized as a national park, spans approximately 141 square kilometers and is located on the outskirts of Srinagar, making it a strategically significant area both for its natural resources and its tactical importance.
The operation has drawn attention to the persistent efforts of security forces aimed at combating terrorism in the region, reaffirming their commitment to maintaining peace and safety in Jammu and Kashmir amidst ongoing challenges.
