In a major development in the ongoing fight against terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, a joint operation conducted by the Indian Army and Jammu & Kashmir Police in the Surankote area of Poonch has led to the capture of two terrorists. The operation, carried out on October 18, was based on precise intelligence inputs and marked a crucial victory against terror infrastructure in the region.
The arrested individuals, identified as Abdul Aziz and Manwar Hussain, were involved in multiple terror activities, including grenade attacks on religious sites and hospitals, terror financing, anti-national propaganda, and arms smuggling. The operation also led to the recovery of a large cache of weapons, ammunition, and grenades, significantly crippling their operational capabilities.
Security officials hailed the arrests as a major setback to terror groups operating in the area, highlighting the role of the captured terrorists in orchestrating violent attacks and facilitating logistical support for other militants.
The success of the operation underscores the relentless efforts by security forces to dismantle terror networks and ensure the safety of civilians in the region. Last month, another associate of the group was apprehended, further weakening the terror infrastructure. The Indian Army’s swift and coordinated response, in collaboration with the J&K Police, has once again demonstrated its commitment to maintaining peace and stability in Jammu and Kashmir.
The authorities believe that these arrests will deal a decisive blow to terror groups by disrupting their operational and logistical networks. The Indian Army and police forces continue to remain vigilant, committed to neutralizing terror threats and safeguarding the region from future attacks. (PR)
