The encounter which started in the early hours of Saturday ended with the security forces effectively neutralising two unidentified terrorists and their hardcore associate. Meanwhile, security forces are continuing a massive search operation.
After the Narendra Modi government brought in an Act abrogating Article 370 and dividing the erstwhile state into the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, Pakistan-based terror groups have made various attempts to push militants into India. However, vigilant security forces have either pushed them back or effectively neutralised them.
Even as the COVID-19 pandemic sweeps through the state, Pakistani terror groups have been trying to activate local militants which have led to a series of encounters in recent weeks. Security forces have eliminated terrorists in all such operations. Significantly, a number of these encounters between terrorists and security forces took place in the COVID-19 hotspot of Shopian district which has reported 22 cases of Coronavirus positive Sin the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
