Now the operation to flush out militants from the dense forest area in Anantnag district has entered into its fourth day. The security forces have deployed drones and helicopters to surveil the hilly terrain and to figure out the locations of the militants in the forests in the Kokernag area of the south Kashmir district. According to a Mint report, the Special Investigation Agency had carried out searches in the upper reaches of Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi upon receiving information about desperate attempts by the terrorists to revive militancy in the district. The search was conducted by investigators of SIA, a counter-terrorism wing of Jammu and Kashmir Police in Pouni and Mahore tehsils, based on intelligence reports that some over-ground workers were providing logistical help and information to anti-national elements. According to a report by Mint, Reasi was cleared of militancy a decade ago but it has reportedly been witnessing the movement of terrorists in the upper reaches over the past some time. #AnantnagEncounter #Kokernag #Baramulla #Anantnag #Terrorism #JammuKashmir #MajorAshish #ManpreetSingh #Humayunbhat #Terrors #Jammu #Kashmir #Pakistan #LOC #Lashkar #HWNews To Join Youtube Membership -    / @hwnewsenglish   SUBSCRIBE to HW News English Here ► http://bit.ly/Subscribe-HWNews-English Connect With Us On: → Facebook:   / hwnewsenglish   → Twitter:   / hwnewsenglish   → Instagram:   / hwnewsenglish   → Dailymotion : https://www.dailymotion.com/hwenglish For More Videos Visit Here: https://hwnews.in/
